SIHAT Health is working directly with Carle Health in Urbana, Illinois on a long-term inpatient heart failure coverage need.
This opportunity is open to general cardiologists with strong heart failure experience. Advanced Heart Failure/Transplant board certification is not required.
The focus is primarily inpatient medical heart failure management. This is not a procedure-heavy role, and LVAD and transplant patients are generally transferred out.
