ORLANDO, Fla. (August 22, 2019) --- The Orlando Health Heart Institute recently acquired Cardiology Consultants of Orlando, expanding its continuum of care in the community. The cardiology practice joined the Orlando Health Heart Institute Cardiology Group on August 1, 2019.

Together, the practice’s interventional cardiologists Egerton van den Berg, MD; Robert Boswell, MD, and Robert Rothbard, MD, have served the patient community for more than 40 years with four Central Florida locations in Orlando, Eustis, Sebring and Okeechobee. With the recent acquisition, Orlando Health Heart Institute now consists of 56 physicians and 22 locations throughout the state.
