Strategic Radiology, a coalition of independent private imaging practices, has added a new member group, taking it into its 20th state, leaders announced on Tuesday.
Founded in 1974, Intercity Radiology is based in Bozeman and marks Strategic Radiology’s first foray into Montana. The practice employs 11 board-certified radiologists and serves six hospitals across Montana and western Washington.
“Intercity Radiology is a progressive independent practice that is committed to providing high quality interpretations for the residents of Bozeman and its surrounding communities,” Strategic Radiology CEO and Chair Scott Bundy, MD, said in an Aug. 21 announcement. “We are proud to have the group among our coalition and look forward to working together to better serve our patients and strengthen private practice radiology.”
The group is located in the Rocky Mountains in one of the fastest growing “micropolitan” statistical areas (an urban cluster with a population of at least 10,000), Strategic Radiology noted. Intercity Radiology also is a Cancer Support Community Montana partner, provides financial support to multiple local charities, and operates two outpatient imaging sites in concert with Bozeman Health.
With this latest addition, Strategic Radiology represents 35 practices and more than 1,500 physicians. Its members serve 275 hospitals and 450 imaging centers across 25 states, according to SR’s website.
