Cody Regional Health Announces New Radiology Coverage in Partnership with Casper Medical Imaging (CMI)

Cody Regional Health (CRH) is pleased to announce an exciting new development in our Radiology department that will enhance patient care and expand our capabilities. Effective October 1, 2024, CRH will partner with Casper Medical Imaging (CMI), a renowned radiology group serving Wyoming, Colorado, and Nebraska, to provide comprehensive radiology services to our community.

This partnership will be led by Dr. Travis Graham, who has been a dedicated radiologist at Cody Regional Health since 2006. As of October 1, 2024, Dr. Graham will officially join CMI as a partner, enabling him to continue providing expert care to our patients while expanding access to additional CMI radiologists and their subspecialty expertise.

Dr. Graham has played a key role in our Radiology department, especially following the retirement of Dr. Greg Cross in July 2023. Despite an aggressive search to recruit another radiologist, the nationwide shortage of radiologists has made recruitment efforts challenging. This partnership with CMI represents a proactive solution that allows Dr. Graham to continue serving Cody and gives CRH access to CMI’s highly trained radiologists.

"We’re excited about this new partnership because it allows us to maintain and enhance the quality of care our patients expect," said Doug McMillan, Cody Regional Health CEO. "Not only does this partnership reduce our reliance on national teleradiology services, but it also gives us access to subspecialty expertise and helps us explore new service lines to further benefit our community."

Benefits of the partnership include:

• Continued radiology coverage and Medical Director oversight from Dr. Graham.
• Access to CMI’s wide network of radiologists with subspecialty expertise.
• Potential cost savings for CRH through improved IT and radiology systems.
• Enhanced training opportunities for CRH’s technologist team.
• Plans to expand service offerings within the Radiology department.

Through this partnership, CRH is reaffirming its commitment to providing high-quality, patient-centered care, while ensuring our Radiology department has the resources and expertise to meet the growing needs of our community.
