Carestream Health, Inc. Acquires Quantum Medical Imaging, LLC
Quantum Medical Imaging’s proven portfolio enhances and complements Carestream Health’s broad product line, and the combination of the two companies will enable Carestream to better serve the specialized imaging needs of community hospitals and clinics globally.
Likewise, Quantum Medical Imaging’s dealers and customers will have access to Carestream Health’s innovative medical imaging and healthcare IT solutions. The joint expansion of these product portfolios and the extended market reach will lead to more options for customers, and continued growth for both organizations.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Scott Matovich and his talented Quantum Medical Imaging team to Carestream Health,” said Kevin Hobert, CEO, Carestream Health. “Scott and his team have created very reliable, innovative and easy-to-use products and, with their strong dealer network, they have earned a reputation for outstanding customer satisfaction.

We will continue our sharp focus on providing innovative imaging solutions for healthcare providers that place a premium on quality, value and success.”
