As you step into this Non-Invasive Cardiology role at Westover Hills Baptist Hospital, you'll become an integral part of Baptist Health System's strategic expansion in San Antonio's rapidly developing west side. You'll experience the unique satisfaction of joining a young, thriving practice where your clinical expertise will immediately address critical healthcare needs in this underserved area. With approximately 500,000 residents in the primary service area—including 250,000 people west of the hospital with no other cardiac care options—your impact on community health will be both immediate and profound.
Your practice will combine the best of both worlds: the collegial atmosphere and personal connections of a smaller community hospital with the sophisticated resources and comprehensive support of a major healthcare system. Unlike practices where new physicians struggle to build volume, you'll enter a setting where demand already significantly exceeds capacity, with referrals waiting and patients eager for timely appointments.
Westover Hills Baptist is a 130-bed hospital strategically positioned as the furthest west hospital in San Antonio, serving as the primary cardiac care provider for this entire region. Opened recently as part of Baptist Health System's expansion to meet growing community needs, the hospital features modern facilities, state-of-the-art equipment, and a forward-thinking approach to healthcare delivery. As the area continues its remarkable growth trajectory, you'll be positioned at the forefront of cardiac care development in this vibrant community.
The hospital leadership team, including CEO Brady and Chief Strategy Officer Liza Denman (who oversees both Westover Hills and St. Luke's Baptist), maintains an open-door policy and values physician input in strategic decision-making. This collaborative approach ensures that clinicians have a voice in shaping both patient care and hospital operations. The administration understands the importance of physician satisfaction and works diligently to create an environment where you can thrive professionally.
As Baptist Health System continues its expansion to meet the needs of this rapidly growing area, you'll have a unique opportunity to help shape the future of cardiovascular care in this community while establishing a thriving, sustainable practice for years to come. The hospital's strategic location and commitment to expanding cardiac services ensure that your practice will continue to grow alongside the community you'll serve.
