LAS VEGAS (KSNV) \u2014 Intermountain Health announced it has agreed to acquire a Las Vegas-based medical imaging provider with a dozen locations in the region.<\/p>\n
The nonprofit health care organization says it will take over operations of Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging, or SDMI, starting next year.<\/p>\n
“This decision to bring SDMI to Intermountain aligns with our proactive care model in that it will allow us to provide more coordinated and integrated imaging services for patients,” Eric Liston, the chief clinical shared services officer for Intermountain Health, said in a statement.<\/p>\n
According to its website, SDMI launched in 1988, and its 12 locations offer services like ultrasounds, mammograms, MRIs, x-rays, PET and CT scans, and interventional radiology.<\/p>\n
SDMI has a team of more than 550 affiliated or employed radiologists, technologists and staff who are specially trained in more than 2,000 procedures.<\/p>\n
“We’re excited to join Intermountain Health to share our expertise as a leader not only in imaging, but in integrity, service, and vision,” Dr. Mark Winkler, founding partner and president of SDMI, said in a statement. “We are focused on delivering exceptional patient experience and accurate results through compassion and cutting-edge technology.”<\/p>\n
Transition of care will be introduced in phases sometime after Jan. 1, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LAS VEGAS (KSNV) \u2014 Intermountain Health announced it has agreed to acquire a Las Vegas-based medical imaging provider…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267643,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[97,252,253],"class_list":["post-267642","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health-care","tag-health","tag-health-care","tag-healthcare"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267642","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267642"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267642\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267643"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267642"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267642"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267642"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
