“Quality care is our priority and promoting overall community health and practice longevity are our primary objectives. We hope to enhance our ability to achieve all of those interests by collaborating with like-minded independent radiology groups on a national basis within Strategic Radiology.”


CHARLOTTE, N.C. (PRWEB)

Catawba Radiology Associates, Hickory, NC, has joined the Strategic Radiology (SR) coalition of independent private radiology practices, adding 18 radiologist members and expanding the organization’s North Carolina contingent to six groups that extend across the state to its western border.

Founded in 1950, CRA is the primary provider of radiology services in the Unifour area of western North Carolina, encompassing Catawba, Caldwell, Burke, and Alexander Counties in the Catawba Valley. A staunchly democratic practice of 18 subspecialty trained radiologists, the practice serves both health systems in the region in addition to several standalone hospitals.

“We are thrilled to add Catawba Radiology to Strategic Radiology’s growing North Carolina contingent,” said Scott Bundy, MD, FACR, CEO and Chair, SR. “Catawba is an exemplary group with 70-plus years of history and a strong commitment to local radiology and the well being of the community it serves.”

The North Carolina practice provides subspecialized interpretations to the Catawba Valley Health System, Duke LifePoint, and UNC Healthcare as well as local specialty practices, working closely with those organizations to contribute to hospital leadership and governance. Key investments in sophisticated IT infrastructure have enabled its radiologists to increase subspecialization and efficiency by making exams available on a single worklist.

“Quality care is our priority and promoting overall community health and practice longevity are our primary objectives,” said Knox Tate, MD, practice president. “We hope to enhance our ability to achieve all of those interests by collaborating with like-minded independent radiology groups on a national basis within Strategic Radiology.”

Catawba Radiology is an active and enthusiastic member of its community, supporting many local civic and charitable organizations, including the Catawba Medical Foundation, the Hickory Community Theatre, and the Safe Harbor Rescue Mission. Individual members of the practice founded the Friends of Hickory, which helped develop a city park in downtown Hickory, and Through Healing Eyes, a local nonprofit that supports breast cancer patients.
