An 80-year-old practice is joining Strategic Radiology’s growing coalition of independent providers seeking to avoid consolidation, leaders announced Wednesday.
Radiology Associates LLP is based in Corpus Christi, Texas, and employs 18 physicians working across five “state of the art” outpatient imaging centers. Founded in 2009, Strategic Radiology now represents 31 practices operating across 18 states and employing more than 1,300 radiologists.
“We are enthusiastic about working with other independent groups to improve our practice in every aspect,” Karl Fan, MD, president of Radiology Associates, said in a statement.
The group provides the full gamut of imaging services spanning nuclear medicine, interventional procedures and neuroradiology. Radiology Associates’ physicians deliver IR care at the South Texas Surgical Hospital, with much of its work occurring in the outpatient setting across Texas’ Gulf Coast region. First Friday (a grassroots org aiming to eradicate breast cancer) and Texas A&M University athletics are also partners with the practice, which first launched in the 1940s.
