OSF Healthcare affiliates with St. Louis physician group

Alton, Ill.-based OSF Saint Anthony's Health Center has formed a strategic affiliation with SLUCare Physician Group in St. Louis, in partnership with SSM Health, also in St. Louis.

The affiliation gives patients who need a higher level of cardiovascular care access to SLUCare and SSM Health facilities and experts. This includes Sridhar Kumar, MD, a SLUCare cardiologist at SSM Health St. Louis University Hospital who is now chief of cardiology services at OSF Saint Anthony's, according to a May 4 OSF Healthcare news release.

"Dr. Kumar oversees a wide range of cardiac interventions, including state-of-the-art treatments, invasive and noninvasive testing and medical management of heart failure and vascular diseases," Jerry Rumph, OSF Saint Anthony's president, said in the news release. "He also brings unique experience with adult congenital heart conditions and has spent decades performing interventional cardiac procedures."
