CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Charlotte Radiology, P.A. and Cabarrus Radiologists, P.A. announced the official merger of their practices. Effective January 1, 2010 the merged groups will provide sub-specialized radiology services to several hospitals in NC, including Carolinas Healthcare System hospitals in Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Union, Lincoln and Anson counties, as well as Scotland Memorial Hospital, Davis Regional Medical Center and First Health Richmond Memorial Hospital.
“Our groups have worked hard to complete all the necessary legal steps over the past few months,” said Dr. Arl Van Moore, President of Charlotte Radiology. “We are excited to start off 2010 as one group and look forward to the new opportunities presented by our merger.”
The groups have agreed to keep Charlotte Radiology’s name and together employee more than 80 radiologists in 10 sub-specialty areas ranging from pediatric imaging and breast imaging to neuroradiology and musculoskeletal radiology. Radiologists for both groups will continue to provide imaging studies at their respective hospitals and outpatient centers.
“No major changes are in the works at this time,” said Mark D. Jensen, COO for Charlotte Radiology. “Any changes that come about will be a direct result of input from both groups on how to enhance our services and sub-specialty care to the communities and hospitals we serve.”
The merger provides opportunities for the group to further improve their quality patient care, allowing for expanded sub-specialized radiology coverage and the integration of their medical systems, which will further enhance access to patient records and reports.
“Our radiologists have been committed to our community for more than 30 years; nothing about that is going to change,” says Dr. David E. Wehrung, formerly President of Cabarrus Radiologists and now a member of the Charlotte Radiology Board of Directors. “Our merger with Charlotte Radiology allows us to combine our teams’ proven success and vision for radiology services, paving the way for us to be a leading physician group both locally and nationally,” adds Dr. Wehrung.
In addition to the radiology services they provide to CHS, Charlotte Radiology now jointly owns five outpatient imaging centers, a vein and vascular center, an interventional clinic, 12 breast imaging centers, two mobile MRIs and a mobile ultrasound.
