Summary

The transaction was announced on May 28, 2026. Heritage Imaging, headquartered in Boise, Idaho, was founded in 1989 and operates across 14 states, with particular emphasis on rural and underserved markets where access to advanced imaging remains limited.
The Company delivers comprehensive diagnostic imaging solutions through a mixed service model combining fully staffed mobile units and leased equipment offerings. Heritage's service menu includes PET/CT, MRI, nuclear medicine, ultrasound, echocardiography, and additional imaging modalities, primarily to critical access hospitals, community clinics, and local healthcare facilities. This operational structure addresses a significant gap in healthcare infrastructure by reducing patient travel burden while improving care access in geographically isolated regions.
