SOLIS WOMEN’S HEALTH ENTERS PHOENIX MARKET
Austin, TX – January 3, 2008, Solis Women’s Health announced
today that it has acquired Phoenix, Arizona based BenOra Imaging. BenOra,
founded by Dr. Avi BenOra in 1982, is the oldest dedicated breast
diagnostic facility in greater Phoenix, and a national pioneer in the
delivery of women’s imaging. BenOra is led by Wayne Hansen, M.D.,
Richard Vanesian, M.D., and Michele West, M.D., who will continue as the
principle physicians in the center.
Solis CEO Brad Hummel, commented, “The BenOra acquisition is an exciting
extension of the Solis model into one of the fastest growing population
centers in the nation. We are fortunate to be joining forces with such
an outstanding group of physicians, allied professionals and
administrators and look forward to continuing the BenOra legacy of
service to the women of greater Phoenix. Early next year we will
relocate BenOra to a new, completely digital facility which has been
designed around the efficiencies and benefits of digital image
acquisition and transfer. The center will offer a comprehensive range of
diagnostic services and will be fully integrated into the Solis
radiology information system.”
BenOra Imaging President Dr. Richard Vanesian commented that, “Merging
our interests with Solis provides us with important financial and
managerial resources. This will allow us to accelerate our goal of
bringing state of the art technology to a larger patient population in
central Arizona. The Solis patient first commitment and focus on women’s
imaging is completely consistent with the BenOra tradition.”
