RAPID CITY, S.D. (Sept. 16, 2025) – Midwest Heart and Vascular Associates and Dr. Bhaskar Purushottam host a ribbon cutting event for their new space in Rapid City.
The independent cardiovascular practice, which opened its doors in April 2025, is committed to redefining heart, vascular, and venous care in the Black Hills through compassionate, guideline-directed therapy and innovative outpatient care.
“Our mission is simple: to put patients first, provide timely access, and deliver the highest quality cardiovascular care close to home,” said Dr. Purushottam, an internationally recognized, board-certified, and fellowship-trained Interventional Cardiologist and Vascular Specialist.
The practice features:
- A comprehensive clinic where patients are evaluated and treated directly by Dr. Purushottam.
- A state-of-the-art imaging center for faster, more accurate diagnoses.
- The region’s first Peripheral Outpatient-Based Lab (OBL), performing minimally invasive endovascular procedures without hospital admission.
Since opening, Midwest Heart and Vascular Associates has already served approximately 400 patients, helping reduce wait times for evaluations, testing, and treatment. By shifting outpatient procedures to the clinic, the practice also helps alleviate the burden on local hospitals.
The Black Hills region has among the nation’s highest rates of non-traumatic amputations due to peripheral arterial disease (PAD). Dr. Purushottam is committed to early identification and evidence-based treatment of PAD, along with a full spectrum of cardiovascular and venous conditions.
