Siemens Healthineers and CommonSpirit Health have agreed to acquire Block Imaging. This new acquisition will provide more sustainable options and support increasing demand from U.S. hospitals, health systems and other care sites for multi-vendor imaging parts and services, according to a news release.

“This acquisition, which builds on our existing relationship with CommonSpirit Health, will enable us to offer even more value to our customers and their patients, while promoting efforts to repair and reuse equipment, helping to eliminate waste. Health care providers and industry need to work together to solve our common challenges,” said David Pacitti, president of Siemens Medical Solutions USA Inc. and head of the Americas, Siemens Healthineers.

Under the agreement, Block Imaging will continue supplying parts to providers across the United States to help create a more sustainable and cost-effective fleet of imaging equipment.
