TRAVELIER was founded to provide world-class interventional services for communities with unmet needs.
Hospitals, healthcare systems and communities are experiencing a growing healthcare epidemic, which is progressively decreasing access to cost-efficient care, especially in rural areas. Interventional radiologists perform services that are critical to multidisciplinary care that reduces unnecessary hospitalization and its associated expense. Through the establishment of physician teams, we seek to provide sustainable solutions for communities with this unmet need. Simultaneously, we are creating revenue-generating interventional radiology practices that will provide a viable work solution for interventional radiologists seeking both novel and progressive opportunities unrivaled by current market alternatives.
