Dear Colleague,
I hope everyone had a happy and healthy 4th of July weekend! It has been a very busy quarter for everyone at IOC. Our most recent focus has been on expanding our radiology group in order to provide the best service to our current and future customers. In the past six months, we have added ten new radiologists to Imaging On Call - a 50% increase of our group. Six of those radiologists were recruited through the ACR or through recommendations from our current radiologists. The rest of our new radiologists were employed by NightVision Radiology, an Ohio based teleradiology company which IOC acquired in the end of May.
These additional radiologists will allow us to keep up with increasing procedure volumes from all of our customers and eventually expand our hours of service. Our focus at IOC is to always provide the highest quality patient care. We are pleased to welcome our new radiologists and know that they will help us continue to provide quality reports and outstanding support to all of our customers.
In addition to four excellent new radiologists, the acquisition of NightVision also brought IOC clients in three new states. In addition to our current states of operation, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, New Hampshire and Colorado, IOC is now working hard to license our doctors in Ohio, Tennessee and Massachusetts.
We are currently in the process of integrating NightVision radiologists and customers into IOC operations and expect the transition to be completed next month.
I welcome the opportunity to speak directly with any of our customers or potential customers. Please feel free to contact me with any issues, concerns or challenges your group may be facing to see if IOC can help.

| Technologist of the Quarter |
 Mary from Vassar Brothers Medical Center
Congratulations to Mary from Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie, NY - she is the most recent winner of IOC's Technologist of the Quarter contest! IOC Workflow Coordinators nominated Mary because she is great to work with! She gives our radiologists quick, detailed histories and is always willing to help - and that helps us provide the best patient care.
The Radiology Department at Vassar will be treated to dinner personally delivered by someone from IOC.
If you know a technologist or maybe even a department full of technologists that should be nominated, let us know! Send your nominations to Elizabeth Perley at eperley@imagingoncall.com. |

 Dr. Kristen Lachance
Kristen Lachance just recently celebrated her 3 year anniversary as a radiologist at Imaging On Call. As a new Mom to 8 month old Ella, Kristen says, "the best part about working at IOC is the ability to spend more time with my daughter during the day." The flexible scheduling also gives her more time to visit friends and family and the technology allows her to work from wherever she wants. Outside of work, Kristen can be found enjoying the beautiful Colorado weather with her family while hiking, swimming or skiing. She also enjoys arts and crafts projects, especially jewelry making, and cooking big Italian meals. We look forward to visiting Kristen while we are in Denver, Colorado for this year's AHRA Conference. |
