BOULDER - Alpine Urology - which has practices throughout Colorado, including in Boulder, Longmont, Louisville and Lafayette - is now an affiliate of the Maryland-headquartered United Urology Group. United Urology Group recently announced it will absorb Colorado's Alpine Urology, Advanced Urology and Foothills Urology, according to a company news release. The three practices, made up of 17 urologists, will operate under the Colorado Urology Associates brand. "We are extremely excited about our new relationship with these three urology practices and their exceptional physicians and look forward to expanding the exemplary urologic care that they have been providing to their patients in Colorado for more than 45 years," United Urology Group CEO Steve Bass said in a prepared statement. "With their dedicated physicians and staff, and a culture focused on patients, employees and the community, this relationship will be a strong contributor to our growth nationally and also provide us with a solid platform with which we can expand the existing patient care footprint in Colorado." Other practices managed by United Urology include Chesapeake Urology Associates in Maryland and Tennessee Urology Associates in Tennessee.
