Aris Radiology, Hudson, Ohio, has been selected to provide comprehensive radiology services to Milford Hospital in Milford, Conn.

Under the partnership, Aris will deliver on-site physician coverage and management support to the 106-bed acute care community hospital serving the residents of Greater New Haven and Fairfield counties. The facility will also have 24/7 access to highly specialized radiologists through Aris’ teleradiology network.

“As a high-performing organization, Milford Hospital recognizes the impact a strong radiology department can have on the quality of its outcomes, the satisfaction of its patients and referring physicians, and the overall efficiency of its operations,” says Stephen L Houff, MD, chairman and CEO of Aris Radiology. “We are pleased to partner with Milford Hospital to provide radiology services that support their ongoing quality and performance improvement initiatives.”

With more than 250 radiologists who interpret an estimated 2.5 million studies annually across 300 client sites, Aris offers 24/7 access to one of the nation’s largest networks of subspecialized radiologists. The company also maintains a robust IT platform that helps increase the speed with which both attending physicians and patients receive results.

“Radiology and imaging services are a critical aspect in the diagnosis and treatment of our patients,” says Joseph Pelaccia, president and CEO of Milford Hospital. “We chose Aris because they share our commitment to meeting – and exceeding – aggressive quality and service standards. Having 24-hour access to highly skilled specialty radiologists on a digital platform helps us provide fast, accurate readings and build stronger relationships with our patients and referring physicians.”
