Ascension St. Vincent’s Expands Cardiology Access in St. Johns County with Addition of Dr. Barry Kusnick

Ascension St. Vincent's is expanding access to cardiovascular care in one of Northeast Florida's fastest-growing communities, welcoming cardiologist Dr. Barry Kusnick to its St. Johns County cardiology practice.

Dr. Kusnick, a long-standing presence in the community, brings extensive experience diagnosing and treating a broad range of cardiovascular conditions. He is now seeing patients at the Cardiology Clinic located on the campus of Ascension St. Vincent's St. Johns County at 300 St. Elizabeth Way, Suite 110, with plans to open a new clinic in St. Augustine at a later date.

"As more families choose to call St. Johns County home, it's essential that access to specialty care grows alongside the community," said Sean McAfee, president and CEO of Ascension St. Vincent's St. Johns County. "Dr. Kusnick's clinical expertise and commitment to compassionate, personalized care makes him an outstanding addition to our cardiovascular team. His arrival allows us to care for more patients locally while continuing to deliver the high-quality heart care our community deserves."

Dr. Kusnick previously practiced with a well-established independent primary care and specialty group, building trusted relationships with physicians and patients across the region. His addition reflects Ascension St. Vincent's continued investment in expanding specialty care close to home as St. Johns County grows.

"I've had the privilege of caring for patients in this community for many years, and I'm excited to continue that work with Ascension St. Vincent's," said Dr. Kusnick. "Heart care is most effective when patients have timely access to trusted physicians close to home. I look forward to working alongside an exceptional team to help more people in our community achieve better heart health."

Dr. Kusnick's addition comes as Ascension St. Vincent's continues to expand cardiovascular services across Northeast Florida, providing patients with access to comprehensive heart care, including preventive cardiology, advanced imaging, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, heart failure care and cardiac rehabilitation.
