“We’re thrilled to welcome Access Radiology to Radiology Partners’ expanding practice,” said Rich Whitney, Radiology Partners’ chairman and CEO, said in the same statement. “They are known for providing outstanding clinical quality with a focus on subspecialty coverage and exceptional client service.”
