Champion Health System Redefines Outpatient Care Model in North Carolina
Under the leadership of Dr. Radhakrishnan Ramaraj, MD, FACC, FSCAI, Champion Health System is reshaping the healthcare landscape by bringing advanced cardiovascular, vascular, and musculoskeletal care to local communities in North Carolina. This model allows patients to receive hospital-quality treatment without hospital stays, reducing costs, minimizing risks, and improving recovery times. Champion’s clinics in Oxford, Dunn, Henderson, and Raleigh (coming soon) NC, offer convenient access to care for local communities.
A Vision for Accessible, Compassionate Care for Heart, Vascular, and Musculoskeletal Conditions
At the core of Champion Health System’s mission is a powerful vision: delivering world-class healthcare close to home. The company offers a comprehensive range of services that include Heart and Vascular Care (treatment for coronary artery disease, arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, varicose veins and Peripheral arterial diseases); Musculoskeletal & Joint Pain Therapy (minimally invasive procedure for knee, hip, and foot pain, plantar fasciitis and other sports injuries); Wound and Vein Care (advanced treatments for varicose veins, ulcers, and poor circulation), and more.
Unlike traditional healthcare models that often require hospital admission and extended recovery times, Champion Health System allows patients to receive care in an outpatient environment. This not only reduces hospital-related costs but also enhances the overall patient experience by providing a more convenient, less disruptive path to recovery.
Innovative Care with a Patient-Centered Approach
What sets Champion Health System apart from its competitors is its unwavering commitment to patient-first care. Each clinic is designed with the patient’s comfort in mind, offering a modern, welcoming atmosphere and state-of-the-art diagnostic tools. Satisfied patient testimonials such as the following speak volumes:
“Tremendous improvement to my knee after Dr Raz performed the new GAE knee procedure. Thanks, Dr Raz for an excellent surgery and thanks to the entire Staff at Champion Heart and Vascular.” — Shirley, Oxford.
“Dr. Raj and his staff are extremely amazing. My legs didn’t have proper blood flow and the procedure was fast and efficient. They are still taking the best care of me.” — Linda, Oxford.
The system’s outpatient focus is built on the principle of providing effective, minimally invasive procedures that allow for faster recovery times and fewer complications.
Champion Health System also emphasizes accessibility by offering multiple locations throughout North Carolina, including Dunn, Oxford, Henderson, and Raleigh (coming soon), making it easier for patients to access high-quality care close to home.
Leading with Expertise and Innovation
Dr. Radhakrishnan Ramaraj, a Board-Certified Interventional Cardiologist and founder of Champion Health System, has made it his mission to integrate clinical excellence with patient-centered innovation.
“At Champion Health System, we believe that world-class healthcare should be accessible, efficient, and compassionate,” said Dr. Ramaraj. “We are redefining what modern healthcare looks like by bringing advanced treatments into the community and focusing on the needs of the patient first.”
