The American Healthcare Radiology Administrators (AHRA) announced today a commitment of $500,000 from Agfa Healthcare towards the AHRA Education Foundation Partnership Initiative, in support of AHRA’s Imaging Leadership Institute.

AHRA is strategically positioned in the diagnostic imaging world to be a conduit between imaging management professionals and the industry that has products and services to sell.


AHRA’s Foundation Partnership Initiative’s vision is to facilitate educational and professional development opportunities resulting in an improved marketplace based on shared information and mutual understanding, the end result being excellent patient care.

“In order to make our vision a reality, we need to work cooperatively with our corporate partners and organizations to provide not only the financial resources but more importantly, the technical know-how and business acumen they possess,” said Jay P. Mazurowski, CRA, FAHRA, AHRA’s 2006-2007 President and Radiology Director, Concord Hospital, Concord, NH. “Agfa’s commitment to our Initiative will help us ensure that our programs are cutting-edge and relevant to the changing dynamics of the field, and for that, we thank them.”

AHRA’s Foundation Partnership Initiative is designed to meet the challenges of the industry and provide educational support for AHRA members. The goal of this effort is to build tailored corporate partnerships that are mutually beneficial to the AHRA and their corporate partners.

The AHRA Imaging Leadership Institute will focus on offering a portfolio of development programs designed exclusively for imaging professionals including administrators, directors, managers, supervisors, and technologists, each addressing challenges pertinent to their respective roles. “We see this initiative as a way to meet our corporate objectives through our assistance to the imaging professional,” said Bob Pryor, President, Agfa Healthcare Americas. “AHRA’s approach to bringing all parties together to share information and experience is unique, and something we want to help lead.”

AHRA, the premier association of managers in imaging sciences, provides the information, education, and networking opportunities needed to succeed in today’s rapidly changing healthcare environment. Through the efforts of hundreds of active volunteers, AHRA brings information about the most current and complex topics to its members and interested others.
