With Thanksgiving approaching, it’s a great time to communicate the overwhelming gratitude and appreciation that I have for our team members, partners, and clients on a daily basis. Radiology is one of the few industries out there with constant downward pressure on reimbursement, and constant increases in costs. The dedication and commitment of the teams working for our clients’ business on a daily basis has helped ensure our clients receive the most revenue possible in this current environment. I am so proud of each of our team members and their efforts to support the needs of our physician clients and their patients.

My gratitude continues for our clients and the remarkable partnerships we’ve formed over the years. It’s a true privilege to serve alongside the genuine partners and excellent clinicians we work with.

Thank you to our teams for your commitment and choosing us to work with.

Thank you to our leaders for serving our teams so well.

Thank you to our clients for trusting PBS as your partner.

I hope you and your families have a blessed and thankful holiday.
