The Gores Group today finalized its agreement with HealthSouth Corporation to purchase its Diagnostic Division, creating Diagnostic Health Corporation (DHC), an independent diagnostic imaging company.

The new company is currently comprised of a network of 53 freestanding diagnostic imaging centers in 19 states and the District of Columbia. While not all services are provided at all sites, 80% of the centers are multi- modality facilities offering a combination of outpatient diagnostic imaging services, including MRI, CT, X-ray, ultrasound, mammography, fluoroscopy, and nuclear medicine services.

"We are very pleased to be on our own as a stand-alone diagnostic imaging company with the financial support of The Gores Group," said Diane Munson, President and CEO of Diagnostic Health Corporation. "DHC's management team and employees are committed to strengthening our platform and continuing to deliver high quality care to our patients across the country."

"The Gores Group is excited about the strength of DHC's platform and geographic footprint, creating numerous opportunities for expansion within the imaging industry," said Ryan Wald, Managing Director of The Gores Group. "DHC's existing strengths, partnered with our financial resources will allow DHC to grow through state-of-the art imaging equipment and superior patient care."
