TRA Medical Imaging and Medical Imaging Northwest have announced a merger in an effort to provide better service to the residents of Washington's King, Pierce and Thurston counties.

“The merging of our two companies will combine our strengths and allow us to drive innovative quality improvement and enhanced value for our patients, providers and heath systems we serve,” wrote TRA Medical Imaging in a statement.

Patients come first was a common core value for both organizations. As a team, they executed their plans looking ahead to changes they might face on a national and regional health care level. 

“Bringing together our skilled teams will allow us to provide the community with expanded subspecialty services to a larger population of patients,” according to the TRA release.
