May 29, 2024 — Strategic Radiology added a third California member to the nation’s leading coalition of independent radiology practices with the addition of 14-radiologist Riverside Radiology Medical Group (RRMG). The hospital-based group serves two health systems and three hospitals in California’s Inland Empire, and brings SR membership to 38 independent private radiology groups nationwide.
“Riverside Radiology Medical Group has served the Inland Empire for more than 50 years and is focused on providing attentive, pre-eminent diagnostic and interventional radiology services to three hospitals,” said Scott Bundy, MD, FACR, CEO and Chair, Strategic Radiology (SR). “We anticipate a high-level of engagement in our collaborative environment from the members of this quality-oriented practice. Riverside Radiology Medical Group is a great new addition to the team, and we are excited to add them to the coalition.”
RRMG ’s 14 partner radiologists are subspecialty trained in MSK imaging, body radiology, neuroradiology, mammography, and nuclear medicine. They serve 517-bed Riverside Community Hospital, a Level I trauma center rated among America’s 250 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades; 213-bed Providence St. Mary Medical Center, Apple Valley, CA; and 79-bed San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital, Banning, CA.
“Our business philosophy is to be wholly physician-owned, so that we as radiologists can determine our future,” said Ardavan Afshar, MD, president, RRMG. “In joining the coalition and collaborating with like-minded physicians, we anticipate many opportunities to improve the value of the services we provide.”
In addition to providing subspecialty interpretations and interventions for three hospitals, the practice contributes to the education of next-generation radiologists by staffing a 20-slot radiology residency program at Riverside Community Hospital. Riverside Community Hospital is a designated Comprehensive Stroke Center, certified Joint Replacement Center by The Joint Commission, and accredited by the American College of Radiology in CT, MRI, Ultrasound, and Nuclear Medicine.
