TriHealth Expands Heart Care Into Primary Care Clinics

Cincinnati-based health system brings cardiology services to local offices to improve access and follow-up care.

Published on Mar. 5, 2026

TriHealth, a Cincinnati-based healthcare system, is expanding its cardiology services by embedding cardiologists in primary care clinics across the region. The goal is to make it easier for heart patients to access ongoing care and management closer to home, while reserving more complex procedures for TriHealth's hospital-based heart centers.

Why it matters

This move by TriHealth aims to remove barriers to heart care by bringing specialists directly to patients in their local communities. Improving access to cardiologists can lead to better follow-up and management of heart conditions, which is crucial for patient outcomes.

The details

TriHealth cardiologists, including Dr. Konstantin German and Dr. Jonathan Hassel, will now see patients at multiple sites beyond the main hospital campus, including in Clifton and Hillsboro, Ohio. The health system plans to continue investing in advanced cardiovascular care centers while also building out these regional access points for ongoing management of heart conditions.
