"This recognition demonstrates our commitment and success in providing an innovative and collaborative workplace that allows vRad to deliver high-quality services to our 2,100+ client facilities and their patients every day. Thank you to our employees and radiologists who enable vRad to innovate and positively impact the practice of radiology."
