Radisphere extends reading services in Pennsylvania

Radiology interpretations provider Radisphere National Radiology Group has signed a contract with Berwick Hospital Center in Berwick, Pa., and Lock Haven Hospital of Lock Haven, Pa.

Via the terms of the agreement, Radisphere will provide the two hospitals--which are a part of Community Health Systems--with onsite and remote interpretation services, as well as full night-time radiology coverage and final interpretations, said the Beachwood, Ohio-based radiology provider.

According to the company, the agreement was established following interpretation services being provided last year at another Community Health System facility Sunbury Hospital in Sunbury, Pa.
