Wellspring Capital-Backed RAYUS Radiology Acquires Diagnostic Centers Of America, Bolstering Its Growing Nationwide Network

MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- RAYUS Radiology, formerly Center for Diagnostic Imaging, a leading national provider of advanced diagnostic and interventional radiology, today announced the acquisition of Diagnostic Centers of America (DCA), a leading radiology provider with centers in West Palm Beach, East Boca Raton, West Boca/North Broward, Wellington, East and West Boynton Beach, Delray Beach and a newly opened location in Palm Beach Gardens. DCA's radiology services are provided by subspecialized radiologists with the Boca Radiology Group (BRG), which conducts more than 550,000 procedures annually. 

"Our acquisition of DCA was driven by our desire to partner with the Boca Radiology Group in this rapidly growing market in Florida to provide the highest-quality services to these growing communities," said RAYUS Radiology Chief Executive Officer Kim Tzoumakas. "The team of highly skilled staff in South Florida will allow us to diversify our corporate support functions, bringing the best of RAYUS together with the best of DCA to execute on our national strategy while attracting team members across the country.  The DCA team, together with BRG, built the highest-quality imaging centers with the leading radiologists in the market, and we are focused on continuing that legacy while accelerating growth in these markets and across Florida. Combining our national platform with DCA will create expanded research, access and cost-effective treatment for our patients."

"BRG is very excited to partner with RAYUS. After exploring many options, it was quickly apparent that Kim Tzoumakas and RAYUS shared our vision of providing the best-in-class radiology services to our patients and referring physicians," said Dr. Joseph Kleinman, President and Group Practice Chairman of Boca Radiology Group, "We look forward to expanding further into Palm Beach County and serving the health care needs of our community." 

Steven Shullman, CEO of Diagnostic Centers of America added, "Our goal was simple: find a strong innovative company that would retain our values and vision that was the foundation of our success."

For RAYUS Radiology, the acquisition of Diagnostic Centers of America is its eighth acquisition, growing from 123 centers to 148 centers nationwide in the past 12 months, as part of its aggressive growth that has followed Wellspring Capital Management's acquisition in March 2019, and the recruitment of Kim Tzoumakas as CEO in March of this year.

"Wellspring's support of our vision for growth has allowed us to successfully execute on multiple initiatives this year that have transformed the company for the benefit of our patients, physicians, hospital partners and communities across the country," said Tzoumakas. 

Specific terms of the transaction are not being disclosed. Ziegler Healthcare Corporate Finance advised DCA in the transaction.
