In connection with the acquisition, Philip Templeton will continue in his role as president of Templeton Readings. Dr Templeton has also joined Emcare as vice president, strategy and development of RadStaffing Management Solutions, an EmCare subsidiary.
William Sanger, chairman and CEO of Emergency Medical Services, said: “A number of significant market dynamics make this acquisition an exciting opportunity for the company.
“We believe that the shortage of radiologists has helped fuel development of the market for teleradiology solutions as physicians look to meet a growing demand with increasingly limited resources. This acquisition will provide Emergency Medical Services a unique platform to deliver a comprehensive radiology solution to the marketplace.”
