- OUR STORY
The Story Behind Renaissance
The purpose behind Renaissance Health and the belief that inspired its beginning.
Why We Started
Renaissance Health was created to provide thoughtful, relationship-centered care where trust, communication, and clinical excellence come together.
What We Saw
Years of experience across hospitals, cardiovascular medicine, and post-acute care revealed that many patients felt rushed, unheard, and disconnected from their care.
How it Began
Renaissance Health wasn't created from a business plan—it began with a belief. Every patient deserves more than a routine appointment. They deserve to be heard, understood, and cared for with genuine compassion. The name Renaissance reflects renewal, hope, and the opportunity to reclaim a healthier future.
Our Mission
To empower individuals to reclaim their health, renew their well-being, and thrive through compassionate, evidence-based care delivered with excellence, integrity, and partnership.
Our Vision
To create a community where every person has access to healthcare delivered by a clinician who listens, values their beliefs, and remains genuinely committed to their well-being.
Dr. Bhavi Shah
- DNP, ANP-C
- Founder & Lead Clinician, Renaissance Health
Dr. Bhavi Shah is a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP), board-certified Adult Nurse Practitioner, and one of Oklahoma’s most experienced advanced practice clinicians.
Raised in a close-knit family in Mumbai, India, Dr. Shah developed an early passion for making a meaningful difference in the lives of others. That passion continues to guide her work today as she helps patients achieve healthier, fuller lives through compassionate, evidence-based care. She believes that true well-being begins with a strong foundation of physical and mental health and that every patient deserves a trusted partner on their healthcare journey.
With more than a decade of clinical experience spanning cardiovascular medicine, internal medicine, and post-acute care, Dr. Shah brings exceptional expertise, clinical judgment, and dedication to every patient encounter.
Her academic accomplishments reflect a lifelong commitment to excellence:
Academic & Quality Improvement Leadership
Dr. Shah’s doctoral work focused on one of the most significant challenges in cardiovascular medicine: reducing avoidable hospital readmissions among patients with heart failure.
As part of her Doctor of Nursing Practice program at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, she designed and led a comprehensive Quality Improvement initiative at OU Medical Center (now OU Health) aimed at reducing 30-day hospital readmissions for patients with heart failure. At the time, institutional readmission rates exceeded the national average of approximately 27%.
Through the implementation of a multidisciplinary, hospital-wide approach to heart failure management, Dr. Shah helped reduce 30-day readmission rates to below 8%. The initiative coordinated care among physicians, advanced practice providers, nurses, pharmacists, case managers, and other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive management of patients with heart failure throughout their hospitalization and transition home.
As part of this project, Dr. Shah also developed a patient-centered discharge tool designed to improve patient education, medication adherence, self-management, and follow-up planning. Combined with a robust transition-of-care strategy, these interventions significantly improved patient outcomes and contributed to a substantial reduction in preventable readmissions. This work reflects her enduring commitment to evidence-based practice, quality improvement, patient education, and coordinated care that extends beyond the hospital setting.
Cardiovascular Leadership & Clinical Experience
Prior to founding Renaissance Health, Dr. Shah served for more than eleven years at OU Health as an Advanced Cardiovascular Practitioner. In that role, she managed patients with complex cardiovascular conditions, collaborated with multidisciplinary care teams, and played a key leadership role in developing the Preoperative Cardiology Evaluation Program in partnership with the Department of Anesthesiology.
Dr. Shah also led the Chest Pain Service during the implementation of the High-Sensitivity Troponin Assay at OU Health, helping guide the evaluation and management of patients presenting with chest pain, anginal symptoms, and anginal equivalents. She provided direct patient care while working closely with specialists across internal medicine, cardiology, emergency medicine, hospital medicine, anesthesiology, family medicine, oncology, hematology, surgery, obstetrics and gynecology, and numerous other disciplines to ensure seamless coordination of care both within the hospital and throughout the continuum of outpatient follow-up.
These experiences further strengthened her expertise in cardiovascular risk assessment, acute cardiac evaluation, preventive cardiology, and collaborative, patient-centered care.
Professional Recognition
Professional Recognition Dr. Shah is a published scholar in cardiovascular medicine and has been recognized for both clinical excellence and academic achievement. Her honors include the Outstanding Clinical Nursing Practice Award and the Academic Achievement Award. She is also a proud inductee of the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing.
