Akumin, a provider of diagnostic imaging and oncology solutions, has announced the formation of Mobile Healthcare Innovations (MHI), a joint venture partnership with Wisconsin-based manufacturer CGS Premier, to engineer, assemble and deploy Akumin AXIS relocatable clinics.
Leaders cut the ribbon on a new 85,400-square-foot facility in New Berlin, Wisconsin, built in size and structure to support high-volume production.
“As demand for imaging and oncology services continues to grow across the country, the completion of this new facility allows us to deliver products quickly and efficiently,” said Akumin CEO Henry Howe in a statement. “We now have the capacity and infrastructure to scale our solutions in a way that directly meets that need.”
The creation of MHI ensures an efficient production pipeline for the Akumin AXIS - a fully relocatable, self-contained imaging and oncology clinics with pre-installed MRI, PET or LINAC technology, and designed for enhanced patient experience.
“We’re excited to combine engineering expertise and manufacturing scalability to support the need in healthcare infrastructure while keeping the purpose and patient in mind,” said MHI CEO Greg Peterson in a statement.
The investment in MHI helps drive local job creation and economic development while also positioning Akumin to continue supporting long-term growth across its national network of partners, including more than 800 hospitals and physician groups.
