Radia® Inc. and Providence Regional Medical Center Everett Recognized for Quality Vascular Care

EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Radia_® Center for Vascular Disease and Providence Regional Medical Center Everett (PRMCE) have provided top rated vascular services for the past seven years running, according to HealthGrades, the leading healthcare ratings company. The Radia Vascular Surgeons and Interventional Radiologists continue to provide PRMCE patients the same exceptional vascular care that recently paved the way for Providence Regional to be twice awarded the #1 Center for Vascular Disease in the State of Washington (2003 & 2005), and to be consistently ranked among the top seven hospitals in Washington for Vascular Surgery (2003 – 2009).The partnership between Radia and Providence Regional is a major reason HealthGrades named the hospital best in Seattle and Northwest Washington for Vascular Surgery for 2009. Radia is the largest private radiology and vascular practice in the Pacific Northwest. Radia offers providers and patients multispecialty imaging services and the most advanced vascular/vein procedures performed by board certified physicians at 7 Puget Sound outpatient facilities and for 11 hospitals located throughout Washington State.

“Radia is extremely proud to be a physician group partner with PRMCE.”

James Cook, M.D., a well respected Radia Vascular Surgeon, who practices in tandem with eight other Radia board-certified physicians within the Radia Center for Vascular Disease at PRMCE, was recently asked why Providence Regional was singled out, year after year, to receive these prestigious awards. Dr. Cook tells us, “PRMCE and Radia have always had a relentless commitment to patient care and, together, we invest a great deal of energy and expertise into improving the clinical excellence for patients and their families.” “Many people think of cardiovascular disease only in terms of a heart attack, however, diseases of arteries and veins outside the heart may be equally serious as the cause of death, stroke, or limb loss.” Dr. Cook goes on to explain, “Radia’s team of specialized vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists are medical doctors who are specifically trained to diagnose, treat, and provide ongoing patient management to those patients who present to us with these types of vascular conditions.”

Dave Brooks, CEO of Providence Regional acknowledges, “The recognition for high quality Vascular Care could not have occurred without the dedication and expertise of our highly competent Radia vascular and interventional radiology physicians who continuously offer Providence Regional patients and their families the best possible outcomes for whatever vascular condition brings them to our hospital.”

Rich Satre, M.D., the President of Radia explains, “Radia is extremely proud to be a physician group partner with PRMCE.” “Our physicians recognize that patients have many healthcare choices and our primary goal is to work with PRMCE to provide vascular patients the most cutting edge patient care that is available today.”
