NMHS, MedQuest Associates team up to manage Tupelo-based facility

North Mississippi Health Services announced this week that it has purchased a majority interest in Tupelo, Mississippi-based The Imaging Center, partnering with MedQuest Associates as a managing joint venture partner in the business.

The Imaging Center will keep both its current name and the current staff.

“NMHS is pleased to be partnering with MedQuest and area provider-owners to continue offering greater convenience and access to radiology and imaging services to Tupelo and the surrounding communities,” M. Shane Spees, NMHS president and CEO, said in a prepared statement.

“As we assume management responsibility for the center, we look forward to building relationships with providers throughout the community and providing the highest quality imaging services to patients in the Tupelo area,” Bruce Elder, MedQuest CEO, said in the same statement.
