Cardiovascular Physicians Of Delaware
By Gaetano N. Pastore, M.D.
Three of Delaware’s most respected cardiology groups — Delaware Cardiovascular Associates, Cardiology Physicians, and Cardiovascular Consultants of Southern Delaware — have united under a single name: Cardiovascular Physicians of Delaware.
This strategic consolidation, supported by US Health Partners (USHP), marks a major milestone in the evolution of cardiac and vascular care across the state. Together, the practices now form Delaware’s largest independent cardiovascular group, expanding access to advanced, coordinated care for patients throughout the state.
