Current patients: We are pleased to announce that Vein Nevada is now Swift Vein Institute. You’ll recognize the familiar face of the Swift Vein Institute medical providers and team, even though our practice now has a different name. Background: In partnership with HOPCo, Spine Nevada, Tahoe Fracture, and Vein Nevada merged earlier in 2022 to become the largest and most comprehensive musculoskeletal and vein practice in Nevada. We have unified our practice name to Swift Institute. The vein division is now known as Swift Vein Institute.
Will anything be different for patients?
There will be no difference in the referral process or patient care, including where our patients receive care or the doctor or team treating them. We have transitioned to a new electronic medical record, AthenaHealth. Patients now have access to a new and improved patient portal, the AthenaHealth Patient Portal.
Why did the practices merge?
