HCA Healthcare, the nation’s largest hospital system, is touting a new joint venture partnership with Envision Radiology.
The imaging group is based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and unaffiliated with the private equity-backed multispecialty group that filed for bankruptcy protection on May 15. HCA’s Florida Capital Hospital and Envision have teamed to open a $3.5 million, 10,000 square-foot imaging center in Tallahassee.
Clear Connect Medical Imaging will offer state-of-the-art technology, private dressing rooms and other modern amenities. It’s part of Nashville-headquartered, 182-hospital HCA’s push to improve access to community-based imaging, reports Radiology Business.
“We are so proud of the joint venture with Envision Radiology and opening the new outpatient imaging center,” Chris Mosley, MBA, chief executive officer of HCA Florida Capital Hospital, said in a May 16 announcement. “This is truly an outpatient, accessible location where people can come to receive advanced imaging services without having to enter the hospital. It will make things much easier for our patients.”
The center will offer the full range of radiology services including interventional procedures, biopsies, cardiac scoring, MRIs, CTs, ultrasound and X-rays. HCA Florida Capital Hospital also will continue providing the latter four imaging exams (and more) at its main campus. Read more.
