Eastern Radiologists, a physician-owned imaging group based in Greenville, North Carolina, has joined Strategic Radiology, a national coalition of independent radiology practices.

The move adds 68 radiologists to the Strategic Radiology network, which now includes more than 2,100 physicians across the U.S. The coalition offers its members access to shared quality improvement programs, benchmarking data, and group purchasing opportunities. It also manages the Strategic Radiology Patient Safety Organization (SR-PSO), which supports efforts around clinical quality and risk management.

Eastern Radiologists was founded in 1954 and provides a range of diagnostic and interventional services across eastern North Carolina. The practice operates multiple outpatient imaging centers and delivers hospital-based services that include MR, CT, ultrasound, X-ray, mammography, and vascular procedures.
“Joining Strategic Radiology strengthens our independence as a physician-owned practice through access to innovative tools, data, and peer collaboration,” said Dr. Brian Kuszyk, president of Eastern Radiologists. “This is an investment in the future of our practice and the communities we serve.”

Strategic Radiology, based in Plano, Texas, was formed in 2009 to support independent radiology groups with shared resources and collective advocacy. Its members participate in clinical and operational initiatives aimed at improving safety, reducing costs, and enhancing the sustainability of private-practice radiology.

In a statement, Dr. Scott Bundy, CEO and chair of Strategic Radiology, said, “Eastern Radiologists exemplifies the kind of practice we seek for our coalition. They are deeply rooted in the community, committed to excellence, and driven to innovate.”

The addition of Eastern Radiologists brings another North Carolina-based provider into the coalition, expanding Strategic Radiology’s geographic footprint and strengthening its position as an advocate for physician-led imaging practices.
