Outpatient IR clinic services were previously offered in suite B507 and will now be offered in the RMG Heart & Vascular Institute, 500 N. Wall Street, Suite C100. CIRA Radiologists will continue to support all radiology services here at Riverside. Referral workflows and phone numbers will stay the same.
