CHICAGO (PRWEB)
January 10, 2020

Ziegler, a specialty investment bank, is pleased to announce it served as the exclusive financial advisor to Radiology Ltd. on its partnership with US Radiology Specialists (“USRS”), backed by private equity firm Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe.

Founded in 1933, Radiology Ltd. is the largest private practice radiology group and outpatient imaging operator in Tucson, AZ, with 40 radiologists fellowship-trained in all major subspecialties, including women’s imaging, interventional radiology, molecular imaging, musculoskeletal imaging, and neuroradiology. The group provides 24-hour coverage for two of the largest hospitals in southern Arizona — Tucson Medical Center and St. Joseph’s Hospital. In addition, Radiology Ltd.’s physicians and more than 400 skilled staff members operate nine ACR-accredited outpatient diagnostic imaging centers, including two full-service women’s imaging centers.

Through this partnership with Radiology Ltd., USRS is well-positioned to continue its rapid national expansion, following its recent partnerships with Upstate Carolina Radiology in South Carolina, Texas-based US Imaging and Atlanta-based American Health Imaging. Formed in January 2018 in partnership with Charlotte Radiology, USRS also established partnerships with Diversified Radiology and Touchstone Medical Imaging in 2018. Backed by private equity firm Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe, USRS has more than 2,800 team members and 130 outpatient imaging centers across 13 states.

“Ziegler was the ideal partner to advise Radiology Ltd. because of their deep knowledge of the radiology industry and proven track record of advising other radiology practices on successful transactions,” said David Jeck, MD, President of Radiology Ltd. “Andy Colbert and his team’s invaluable guidance and thoughtful approach helped ensure a successful outcome for Radiology Ltd. and positioned our group well for continued growth. We are thrilled to be partnered with USRS, an organization that shares our group’s values and mission to transform healthcare.”

“Having served the Tucson community for over 80 years, Radiology Ltd. has built an exceptional platform that is nationally-respected, delivering high quality, patient-centric radiology services in both the hospital and outpatient settings. We are thrilled to have represented Radiology Ltd. on this important transaction,” commented Andrew Colbert, Managing Director in Ziegler’s Corporate Finance practice and lead banker on this transaction.

Ken Davis and team at Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP served as legal counsel to Radiology Ltd. in concert with the transaction. Ropes & Gray LLP assisted for US Radiology.
