Intermountain Health today announced it has finalized its acquisition of Steinberg Diagnostic Medical Imaging (SDMI), a leading outpatient radiology imaging company with 12 locations across the Las Vegas Valley. 

Intermountain Health’s addition of imaging centers to its growing availability of healthcare services in southern Nevada enhances patients’ access to more coordinated and integrated healthcare.  

“Intermountain Health’s expansion of imaging services through SDMI strengthens our capacity to support Las Vegas patients throughout their care journey,” said Scott Stevens, MD, chief medical officer for Intermountain’s Desert Region. “This comprehensive model of delivering high-quality, cost-effective imaging services in-house allows us to provide continuity of care with a seamless, person-centered approach.”  

SDMI, a Diagnostic Imaging Center of Excellence, is accredited by The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care and is an accredited Breast Imaging Center of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. SDMI is also designated as a Lung Cancer Screening Center by the American College of Radiology.    

SDMI’s affiliated radiologists are all accredited by the American Board of Radiology and are members of the American College of Radiology. Most are sub-specialized in areas of study in which they performed their fellowship training including neuroradiology, women’s imaging, cardiology, body imaging, PET/CT oncology, musculoskeletal, interventional, and pediatric radiology.  

“We are thrilled to join Intermountain Heath, bringing our leadership in imaging, integrity, and innovation in Las Vegas to delivering on the mission of helping people live healthier lives through proactive, personalized care,” said Mark Winkler, MD, founding partner and president of SDMI. “Our shared focus on compassionate care and cutting-edge technology ensures that patients encounter the highest standards of medicine.”   

SDMI’s team of more than 550 affiliated or employed radiologists, technologists, and staff are specialty trained in more than 2,000 procedures, ranging from screening mammograms to port placements for chemotherapy.  

Since 1988, SDMI has served patients throughout southern Nevada. Patients will continue to receive the same level of care they have come to expect from both SDMI and Intermountain. The integration of care coordination will be introduced in phases over the next year.    

“Quality imaging services are critical because they provide clear, detailed views for accurate diagnoses that enable early disease detection, guide effective treatments and monitoring of progress,” said Dr. Ben Gordon, associate chief medical officer, Clinical Shared Services, Imaging, for Intermountain. “These changes will allow us to ensure we are delivering the very best in quality and safety while focusing on patient experience and health outcomes.”  

Intermountain is a nonprofit healthcare organization offering patient care at more than 80 clinics at over 65 locations across southern Nevada in primary care, urgent care, and multiple specialties including oncology, cardiology, endocrinology, pulmonology, physical medicine, and women’s and children’s health.  

Intermountain plans to break ground later this year on a 200-bed pediatric healthcare facility, the first-ever stand-alone comprehensive children’s hospital in Nevada. With its extended provider network, Intermountain delivers patient-centered primary, specialty, and urgent care services to approximately 350,000 southern Nevadans in Clark and Nye counties.
