We offer our partners a proven ability to gain market share in competitive environments through effective marketing and physician engagement, uncompromising clinical quality and top-notch service to patients and referring physicians.

Joint Ventures

Partnering with MedQuest allows you to advance your imaging operations through a flexible joint venture (JV) structure customized to meet your health system’s specific needs. MedQuest’s history of success in outpatient imaging, combined with a proven model of partnering with health systems, makes MedQuest a leading choice for a specialized imaging partner.

We trust MedQuest to manage our entire portfolio of freestanding imaging assets, and have been partners with MedQuest for over a decade. During this time, they have brought significant improvements to many facets of our outpatient imaging operations. They deliver a remarkable patient experience and help us compete effectively for market share while running highly efficient operations. They also collaborate effectively throughout Novant Health, maximizing returns on imaging capital expenditures, coordinating closely with hospital radiology departments, working seamlessly with our support functions, and getting the most out of our mobile imaging operations. We rely heavily on their outpatient imaging expertise.

Our health system has accomplished a great deal since North Mississippi Health Services partnered with MedQuest to expand and improve our outpatient imaging services footprint and operations. Since the development of our partnership less than two years ago, MedQuest and North Mississippi have acquired a competing imaging center, grown and improved its operations, as well as completed the consolidation of two local imaging joint ventures into a single, market-leading imaging center joint venture with other providers. And through MedQuest’s expertise, we have identified additional opportunities to improve our community’s access to imaging capabilities.

As a committed partner, MedQuest consistently manages our imaging center with all stakeholders’ best interests in mind. They provide high quality outcomes, top of the line customer service, and continue to strive for optimal financial performance. Two years into this partnership they continue to be proactive and responsive to all of our needs. Their expertise has been an integral component of our imaging center’s success.
