‘SR’ onboards another independent practice, its 1st in the Natural State
The private-practice coalition Strategic Radiology, aka “SR,” has added Arkansas to the 30 or so states in which its 1,700+ radiologists operate.
The newest member group is Hot Springs Radiology Services Ltd., which is named after its home city. The practice has a radiologist headcount of 12 and a client list anchored by two health systems and four hospitals.
Hot Springs Radiology supplies subspecialty diagnostic and interventional radiology services including neuroradiology, musculoskeletal radiology, body imaging, women’s imaging, interventional radiology and nuclear medicine, according to a June 26 announcement sent by SR.
Strategic Radiology CEO and chair Scott Bundy, MD, lauds the incoming practice for serving its local communities “with distinction” for more than 80 years.
The new addition means SR’s next member practice to join will be its 40th.
Stephen Penor, MD, president of Hot Springs Radiology, says the group’s radiologists are “committed to the collaborative, physician-driven operational model.”
Hot Springs Radiology hopes to optimize Strategic Radiology’s scale to achieve greater operational efficiencies, SR says in the announcement, adding that the group has produced six Fellows of the American College of Radiology.
The Hot Springs Metropolitan Area has a population of around 100,000 and is known for its close association with Hot Springs National Park.
