Nonprofit healthcare system Banner Health has signed an agreement with imaging services provider Radiology Partners to create Banner Imaging, a new imaging practice that will provide services in the metropolitan area of Phoenix.
Radiology Partners is the parent of East Valley Diagnostic Imaging (EVDI) and Valley Radiologists (VRL). As a result of the deal, nearly 600 employees of EVDI and VRL will transition to become employees of Banner Imaging, according to the companies. The wholly owned subsidiary of Banner Health will include 23 ambulatory imaging centers in Maricopa and northern Pinal counties when it launches on April 29.
