Radiology Partners, RIMA announce practice partnership

Radiology Partners announced a new partnership with California-based Renaissance Imaging Medical Associates (RIMA), increasing Radiology Partners’ radiologist count to more than 800. RIMA currently employs 99 physicians.

“We chose to partner with Radiology Partners because of their culture, single-specialty focus and their compelling vision for the future of radiology,” said Andrew Deutsch, MD, MBA, RIMA Chairman and CEO. “This partnership will elevate the level of care we provide our patients, help us better serve our referring physicians and client facilities and continue to fuel our growth in California.”

Deutsch will stay on with RP and continue to serve as chairman and CEO of RIMA.

Radiology Partners secured a $695 million credit facility from Golub Capital in December to fund future growth, refinance the company’s existing debt and complete the acquisition of Southwest Diagnostic Imaging.
