Tower Radiology Centers, the largest physician owned and operated outpatient radiology practice in Tampa Bay, is partnering with West Florida Health, a jointly owned not-for-profit company.

The collaboration will work toward establishing a clinically integrated network of independent healthcare providers to achieve the best patient experience and reduce healthcare costs.

"The goals and vision for outpatient radiology services are aligned between our two organizations which will bring great benefits to our community,” said Larry Smith, CEO of Tower Radiology Centers in a statement. “Our vision is to provide quality outpatient imaging care with ease of access throughout the Tampa Bay region. We're excited to further expand our outpatient expertise and quality patient care throughout the community.”

Tower Radiology Centers will continue serving patients and providers at its 14 locations.
