Radiologists from two clinics to join forces

DENVER — Radiology Imaging Associates PC of Englewood will join with 20 physicians from Rocky Mountain Radiologists PC to create a practice with more than 120 radiologists  on Jan. 1, 2020.

Rocky Mountain Radiologists has multiple locations in Colorado including Touchstone Imaging outpatient imaging centers in Lafayette and Superior. Radiology Imaging Associates operates radiologic services for Banner Health in Northern Colorado including Banner’s hospitals in Loveland and Greeley, as well as numerous clinics.

“The two practices are naturally compatible,” Dr. Andrew Fisher,  member of the RIA board of directors, said in a press release. “We are delighted to welcome RMR to RIA. Our two groups share values for putting patients at the center of everything we do. Our teams of physicians are sub-specialized and fellowship-trained radiologists. We agree that timely and collaborative service to our referring healthcare providers is a hallmark of our respective practices, which we will continue to deliver together,” said Fisher.

How dispatchable resources enable the clean energy transition

Platte River must prepare for the retirement of 431 megawatts (MW) of dispatchable, coal-fired generation by the end of the decade and address more frequent extreme weather events that can bring dark calms (periods when there is no sun or wind).

Along with 18 sub-specialized physicians in body imaging radiology, breast imaging radiology, musculoskeletal imaging radiology and neuroradiology, RMR will bring two interventional radiologists to join RIA IR physicians, national leaders in the field. Taken together, the two practices will number more than 120 radiologists.

“One of the most important factors in the decision by our practice to join RIA was our unified desire to remain independent and physician-owned,” said Dr. Brian L. Ravert, president of RMR. “We choose to fulfill that goal with RIA and identify efficiencies in the practice of radiology and clinical quality that will benefit our patients, providers, and shareholders,” said Ravert.
