Intermountain Health is acquiring Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging, the outpatient radiology imaging company with 12 locations across the Las Vegas Valley, officials said today.
The acquisition will add imaging centers to Intermountain’s growing health care services in Southern Nevada.
“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,” said Eric Liston, chief clinical shared services officer for Intermountain Health in a statement. “As the number of people with chronic and complex health conditions continues to grow, ease of access to high-quality imaging services is more important than ever.”
Steinberg’s team of more than 550 affiliated or employed radiologists, technologists, and staff are specialty trained in more than 2,000 procedures, ranging from screening mammograms to port placements for chemotherapy. They are accredited by the American Board of Radiology and members of the American College of Radiology.
“We’re excited to join Intermountain Health to share our expertise as a leader not only in imaging, but in integrity, service, and vision,” said Mark Winkler, MD, founding partner and president of Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging, in a statement. “We are focused on delivering exceptional patient experience and accurate results through compassion and cutting-edge technology. Intermountain’s mission of helping people live the healthiest lives possible aligns with our dedication to the people of our Las Vegas community.”
SDMI has served patients throughout southern Nevada since 1988. The transition of care will take place sometime after Jan. 1 and will be introduced in phases, Intermountain said.
