Radiology Partners Expands Texas Presence Through Partnership with West Houston Radiology

Radiology Partners

El Segundo, CA (July 10, 2018)Radiology Partners (RP), the largest physician-led and physician-owned radiology practice in the U.S., today announced a new practice partnership with West Houston Radiology. This partnership builds upon RP’s leading position in Houston and in the state of Texas. RP now serves more than 630 hospitals, clinics and imaging centers nationwide.

One of the larger practices in Texas, West Houston Radiology’s approximately 50 physicians serve HCA Gulf Coast, as well as other hospitals and outpatient imaging facilities within the state. The practice is a leading player in the Greater Houston radiology community, as well as the Gulf Coast of Texas.

“We are thrilled to partner with the physicians of West Houston. They have a reputation among their clients for exceptional service and quality,” said Rich Whitney, Radiology Partners’ chairman and CEO. “We look forward to collaborating to further raise the bar in terms of the clinical value offered to clients, patients and payers in their markets and beyond.”

“We are excited to partner with a practice that has such a deep alignment with our mission to provide exceptional healthcare,” said Craig Thiessen, practice leader of West Houston Radiology. “In addition to Radiology Partners’ commitment to clinical innovation, its strong and growing presence in Houston and existing relationship with HCA made our partnership with them an ideal fit for our practice. And even more importantly, this is going to be a great fit for the patients and referring physicians who trust and rely upon us.”

The new West Houston Radiology partnership adds to the already robust growth momentum RP has experienced in the past nine months alone, having recently partnered with the largest radiology practices in Arizona, California, Florida and Louisiana. It also builds upon a leading position in Texas, where RP now serves leading health systems such as HCA Gulf Coast, Memorial Hermann Health System, CHI St. Luke’s Health, Baylor College of Medicine and Baylor, Scott & White Health.

WHRA was advised exclusively by Paratus Partners led by Scott Seberg.
