LucidHealth has selected a leader to oversee its strategy in the Midwest, the private equity-backed radiology provider announced Jan. 8.
Daniel Howell, MBA, is the Columbus, Ohio-based organization’s new regional VP, Midwest radiology services. In the role, he’ll oversee the development, leadership, growth, strategic direction and operational excellence of LucidHealth’s 50 imaging sites across Ohio and Wisconsin.
Before taking on the title, Howell served as executive director of practice management at Riverside Radiology & Interventional Associates. The practice is part of LucidHealth and is one of the largest providers of radiology services in Ohio, according to the company.
“We are thrilled to elevate Dan Howell's leadership role as the regional vice president, Midwest radiology services,” CEO Steve Corbeil said in a Jan. 8 announcement. “His extensive experience in healthcare operations and his commitment to excellence make him the ideal fit as we grow our footprint throughout the Midwest.”
This is the third leadership move for LucidHealth in the past few months. It also named Corbeil as chief executive in November and Kirsten P. Jones as regional VP of imaging centers in December. The company bills itself as one of the “largest physician-owned, outsourced providers of radiology services in the country,” delivering reads to facilities in seven states. LucidHealth was first founded in 2016, in part, with funds from private equity firm Excellere Partners.
