Radiology Partners announces partnership with Jacksonville-based Mori, Bean & Brooks

Radiology Partners announced this week it has entered into a new partnership with Jacksonville, Florida-based Mori, Bean & Brooks (MBB).

MBB has a long history in the Jacksonville area—it celebrates its 50th anniversary as a practice in November—and is the second Florida practice to partner with Radiology Partners in 2018. Overall, the practice serves a total of 16 sites throughout Jacksonville and southern Georgia.

“Over the last 50 years, MBB and its radiologists have established themselves as a leading practice known locally and nationally for clinical excellence and outstanding service to their community,” Rich Whitney, chairman and CEO for Radiology Partners, said in a prepared statement. “Our philosophies on patient care, clinical value, innovation and service, are well aligned, and we are excited that they are joining our team.”

“We chose Radiology Partners because of their mission to transform radiology and how well their culture matched with our practice values,” Kurt Mori, MD, president of Mori, Bean & Brooks, said in the same statement.
