About PCA

Who We Are

PCA is a California Professional Corporation that operates in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside Counties, Guam and the Asia Pacific Region and has a comprehensive cardiovascular network, covering Southern California from Long Beach to San Clemente.

We have assembled the finest physician and ancillary staff in the country to ensure your health and well being. We are confident that your expectations will be exceeded as we begin our partnership in your health.

Where We Are

Over the past 25 years PCA has had the unique opportunity to originate, critically review, customize and improve the quality of cardiovascular services rendered to a diverse patient population residing in Southern California. Since that time we have been able to collect, develop, analyze, refine patient management guidelines and related cost data in the care and management of a population totalling 2.5 million.

Cardiovascular expenditures for our clients related to the delivery of cardiovascular services have been significantly influenced by the policies, guidelines, systems and programs we have successfully implemented.

Our efforts to fully integrate services, review outcomes, optimize care, implement and enforce practice guidelines and recruit well-trained cardiologists have, in the opinion of many, been exemplary. As co-authors of now nationally accepted clinical patient management algorithms and guidelines, we are confident that our quality will exceed your expectations.

Our reputation within the community and our professional societies speaks for itself. Patient satisfaction and gratitude are a continual source of encouragement and pride.

Our long and successful track record of assuming full risk capitation for cardiovascular services permits us to enter into capitated arrangements that optimize care and control costs. As recognized national experts and opinion leaders in our respective fields as well as in the fields of outcome measurement/assessment and cost effectiveness, we can bring to bear considerable experience and exposure to our clients and strategic partners.

Our Mission

Ensuring the cardiovascular well being of our patients and their families has been PCA's mission for over 25 years. Our comprehensive team approach incorporates the talents of the finest cardiologists, (adult and pediatric), cardiothoracic and cardiovascular surgeons, cardiac interventionalists, and expert non-invasive cardiologists. We have consistently provided the finest, state-of-the-art, comprehensive cardiac services to our patients, referring physicians, and allied health partners.

We have designed, developed, and implemented heart institutes, cardiovascular centers of excellence, acute myocardial infarction programs, cardiac catheterization laboratories and cardiac risk reduction programs. We have pioneered standardized cardiovascular guidelines and best practices as well as cardiac quality improvement and outcomes measures which remain the mainstay of our acclaimed evidence-based approach to patient care.

Our unfailing commitment to the highest quality of care combined with the expertise of the finest cardiovascular specialists in the country has brought PCA wide recognition and distinction. We are proud of our record of accomplishment and take great pride in our consistently excellent patient outcomes and satisfied, grateful patients. Our holistic, evidence-based approach focuses on the "whole person" from pediatric through geriatric ages.

We have been very active and continue to serve in an advisory capacity for the American College of Cardiology, American Heart Association, AARP, HCFA, NCQA, and other state and federal professional associations.

So whether you are a patient with a heart problem, vascular problem or a physician, hospital, managed care plan, group practice or employer, interested in learning more about the best, most cost effective treatments for cardiac patients, PCA is here to serve you. Though we are based in Southern California, our network and scope is international.
