WATERLOO, Iowa, Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MercyOne is partnering with LucidHealth to expand its radiology and imaging capabilities to patients throughout Northeast Iowa. Longtime radiologists with strong ties to MercyOne - Dr. Meg Krishnan, Dr. Kevin He, Dr. Emil Hurst and Dr. Robert Filippone – will continue to provide high quality imaging care throughout these communities with the support of their tenured colleagues at MercyOne and in collaboration with LucidHealth's innovative technology solutions.

Together, these organizations will continue to deliver best-in-class patient care with a commitment to 24/7 subspecialized imaging, rapid turnaround times and a robust vascular & interventional radiology program. The shared dedication to clinical excellence is further defined by our aligned strategic and operational focus on population health.

"The transition to a new partnership with LucidHealth required both teams to work seamlessly to meet the needs of our patients and community," said Kris Messner, Director of Imaging at MercyOne Northeast Iowa. "The experience, subspecialization and advanced technology that LucidHealth brings to our organization is extremely important as we aim to be the first choice for radiology and imaging services in the communities we serve."

"Our ability to seamlessly integrate our technology with MercyOne's key hospital systems (EMR, PACs, Voice Recognition) enables our radiology specialists to provide rapid turnaround times regardless of the study location," said Mark Alfonso, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, LucidHealth. "Our shared commitment to providing optimal healthcare for every patient, every time has made the decision to partner with MercyOne a simple one."
