Concord Hospital Health System and North Country Healthcare are pleased to announce a new partnership that will offer advanced cardiology services closer to home for residents of the North Country. This relationship not only sustains cardiology care but enhances it, reflecting a shared commitment to meeting the healthcare needs of the region.

"Our partnership ensures patients can receive comprehensive cardiology care without leaving their community and advanced services closer to home."

Three distinguished cardiology providers will join Concord Hospital Cardiovascular Institute at North Country Healthcare:

• • Daniel van Buren, MD, FACC, a board-certified cardiologist with over 14 years of experience at Androscoggin Valley Hospital, will see patients at Androscoggin Valley Hospital and Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital;
  • Calvin Knowles, PA-C, recently joined Androscoggin Valley Hospital and will also care for patients at this location, as well as Upper Connecticut Valley Hospital;
  • Elizabeth LaPointe, PA-C, a new addition at Weeks Medical Center, will see patients in Lancaster.

Patients of the North Country clinics will continue to receive seamless access to advanced subspecialty care at Concord Hospital Cardiovascular Institute in Concord.
