Stern Cardiovascular

Stern Cardiovascular is a long-established, physician-led cardiovascular care organization based in the Memphis area and operating across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas. The group provides commercial cardiology services including diagnostics, interventional and non-invasive cardiovascular care, electrophysiology, advanced heart failure care, vascular and vein services, and cardiac clinical research. Stern describes itself as the largest cardiovascular research and healthcare group in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, with more than 100 years of operating history. In 2026, the organization transitioned from a Baptist-employed clinic model back to an independent clinic structure and announced a strategic partnership with Atria Health to support expansion, physician recruitment, and new advanced cardiac service lines such as cardiac PET/CT. It is best characterized as a regional healthcare delivery and research practice rather than a drug-development biotech or pharma company.
