About Us
Our Mission
Cardiovascular Imaging Specialists (CVIS) provides high quality, patient-centered cardiac ultrasound staffing. We strive to be a trusted health care partner and resource for Southern California hospitals, clinics, and doctors.
We recognize the urgent need for qualified cardiac sonographers and endeavor to provide skillful, energetic, and receptive staff through a culture that emphasizes education and cooperation. We encourage all our technicians to pursue continuing education. We seek experienced technicians and top graduating students at local ultrasound schools to create opportunities and cultivate talent.
CVIS values interpersonal skills that contribute to healthy working relationships. We look for technicians who can absorb feedback amenably, remain curious, seek learning opportunities, and are willing to adjust personal expectations to best serve a customer’s team.
Who We Are
CVIS originally began in 1988 as W/E Associates. Throughout the years, W/E Associates, in conjunction with Wilson Associates, provided quality cardiac sonographer staffing and instrumentation to many hospitals and clinics in Orange and Los Angeles Counties. In 2001 Wilson Associates was dissolved. W/E Associates continued providing only technical support for many local hospitals and clinics until January 3, 2023.
Since the pandemic, we have noticed hospitals’ increased staffing challenges and a growing need in the Southern California region for quality sonographers. W/E Associates is expanding, with a fresh perspective, and a new name: Cardiovascular Imaging Specialists (CVIS).
CVIS is a local registry service that engages in open-ended contracts with hospitals and clinics. We endeavor to provide flexible and reliable staffing solutions. We believe our unique focus on technician education will result in a stable and dedicated staff with excellent scanning skills.
