Cardiology drives both patient outcomes and the bottom line, which makes an open seat expensive to leave unfilled. Capstone permanently recruits noninvasive, interventional, and electrophysiology cardiologists for groups, hospitals, and PE-backed platforms nationwide.
An aging workforce meets an aging population
The cardiology shortage is a two-front problem: nearly half of U.S. counties have no practicing cardiologist, while an estimated 45% of today’s cardiologists are older than 56 and beginning to retire — exactly as the population ages into peak cardiovascular need. By 2030, one in five Americans will be 65 or older. Patients already wait close to a month on average to see a cardiologist, with general cardiovascular wait times up more than 25% since 2017. An open seat in this service line compounds quickly.
Why cardiology recruitment is high-stakes
A six-month noninvasive cardiology vacancy is estimated to cost about $1.15 million in lost revenue — and that’s before downstream procedural and imaging volume. Demand is rising with an aging population while the pipeline stays tight.
How Capstone approaches it
