Vivra opens asthma, allergy clinics
Vivra, a specialty physician network and disease management company, has launched its asthma and allergy physician practices into a new company, Vivra Asthma and Allergy.
The move was prompted by the burgeoning incidence of asthma in the United States, says Joe Mello, MBA, president of the new company based in Plantation, FL.
"Asthma has been so underidentified," says Mello, "and we have the potential to create great outcomes for our patients."
Vivra Asthma and Allergy, with a focus on chronic respiratory disease and an emphasis on respiratory clinical research, has 67 physicians in 23 practices in 13 states, most of them in the East and the Midwest. "We’ll see that increase greatly in 1999," Mello says.
He says Vivra will recruit physicians and flagship practices.
