As you join UCHealth Heart and Vascular Clinic, you'll become part of a close-knit, supportive team dedicated to providing exceptional cardiac care. The practice culture emphasizes collaboration and mutual respect, creating a positive work environment rarely found in larger cardiovascular groups. Rather than the competitive atmosphere often present in metropolitan practices, you'll experience genuine collegiality with your physician colleague and advanced practice providers.
The Scottsbluff clinic is currently comprised of one primary cardiologist (Dr. Christopher Lambert), who has provided stable leadership since joining in 2013, and two advanced practice providers (Meghan Blaylock, NP and Cynthia McCumbers, NP). Dr. Lambert has built a practice culture centered on clinical excellence and professional satisfaction, while his decade-plus commitment to the community reflects the sustainable nature of this practice and the satisfaction physicians find in this environment. Unlike high-turnover metropolitan settings, this established practice offers the opportunity to build on a foundation of community trust and clinical consistency.
While practicing in Scottsbluff, you'll be connected to UCHealth's impressive cardiovascular network that includes four cardiothoracic surgeons, three vascular surgeons, eight electrophysiologists, 13 interventional cardiologists, and nearly 20 non-invasive cardiologists. This extensive team provides critical support for complex cardiac procedures and specialized care. The larger UCHealth Heart and Vascular team has proudly served the Scottsbluff community for nearly 20 years, establishing itself as the largest and most respected heart program in western Nebraska, Wyoming, and northern Colorado.
The advanced practitioners at the Scottsbluff clinic bring valuable clinical support and continuity to the practice. They are experienced in cardiac care and manage appropriate patients independently while collaborating closely with the physicians. This team approach creates efficient workflow and enhances patient access while allowing you to focus on cases that truly require physician-level expertise.
The UCHealth Heart and Vascular team prides itself on being innovative, offering the latest evidence-based technologies and procedures to patients. This commitment to clinical advancement means you'll practice in an environment that values cutting-edge approaches while maintaining the highest standards of patient care. The multi-disciplinary approach ensures high-quality care for every patient, while access to clinical trials provides treatment options not available elsewhere in the region.
Unlike isolated rural practices where professional isolation can lead to stagnation, this position bridges community need with system resources. The established relationship with UCHealth specialists ensures you'll remain connected to cardiology advances and subspecialty expertise while maintaining independence in your daily practice.
The staffing structure at UCHealth Heart and Vascular Clinic provides the ideal foundation for professional satisfaction and clinical excellence. You'll join an experienced physician colleague with a decade of practice stability, work with skilled advanced practitioners who enhance practice efficiency, and connect with an extensive network of cardiac subspecialists through the UCHealth system. This balanced approach to staffing creates a supportive environment where you can thrive professionally while enjoying meaningful collegial relationships.
