El Segundo, Calif. (July 11, 2017) – Radiology Partners (RP), the largest physician-owned and physician-led radiology practice in the United States, today announced the addition of over 70 new sites across Ohio, Eastern Iowa, and Texas.
As the healthcare system shifts to value-based care, the field of radiology can play a pivotal role in improving the cost and quality of the healthcare patients receive. Scale will be important. These new partnerships further strengthen RP’s existing position in the Midwest and expand RP’s client base to over 350 sites of care in nine states.
“We are excited to welcome the radiologists serving Ohio, Iowa, and Texas to our practice,” said Rich Whitney, Radiology Partners’ Chairman and CEO. “These physicians have a strong reputation in their medical community for providing high-quality radiology services. Joining RP will allow them to thrive by leveraging their solid local foundation with the added benefits of our national support resources, technology, and clinical best practice initiatives.”
“RP is going to help raise the level of clinical expertise and service we can provide to our patients,” said Dr. Solomon Bierman, a radiologist serving Dallas Regional Medical Center. “We greatly value their model that promotes local physician leadership with the backing of an innovative, large-scale and single specialty radiology practice. As long-time radiologists in the Dallas area, we know and serve our community very well. Yet, we also recognize our patients will benefit from RP’s resources, broader sub-specialties and clinical programs.”
“Our new partnership with Radiology Partners will bring our physicians a higher level of support and resources,” said Jenny Klyn, Director of Ancillary Services, Monroe County Hospital in Albia, Iowa. “Our physicians can now provide even better care to our patients with access to 24/7 final reports year-round, a sophisticated IT infrastructure, subspecialty reads, and value-based clinical programs focused on improving quality care.”
