Pinnacle Health Radiology Services was founded in 2006 by Jody Rotenizer and has grown to offer MRI, CT and PET/CT system sales and service across the United States and the Caribbean. TechNation interviewed Vice President of Sales Jim Prout to find out more about the company and how it helps HTM professionals.
Q: What are some of the services and products you offer? Is there a specific or new one you are excited about right now?
Prout: On MRI we are primarily GE, Philips and Siemens but we also support Hitachi MRIs. We support GE, Siemens, Philips and Canon CTs. We support GE and Siemens PET/CT.
PET/CT has been our newest area of focus, but is fast becoming a core piece of our business as we support both fixed site and mobile PET/CT clients. With its growing use in oncology, urology, cardiac and now Alzheimer’s disease; it is a modality with an enormous amount of potential growth. We intend on further investing and expanding in this space and assisting our customers in expanding into it.
Q: How does your company stand out in the medical equipment field?
Prout: I believe one of the things that makes Pinnacle unique is our depth of technical knowledge and scope of capabilities. We have OEM specific ramp and shim equipment but also the new universal Echo ramp kit allowing us to ramp and shim GE, Siemens, Philips and Canon MRI systems.
Having spent most of my 24 years in this space, there are not as many groups with that capability as you might think. It’s a clear separator.
Q: What is on the horizon for your company?
Prout: I see exciting opportunities for us to take our scope of knowledge and capabilities to the next level with a variety of clients. Whether it’s IDNs looking for partners to train and assist their in-house clinical engineering teams or partnering with companies with specialties in areas of imaging and service we do not. In this era of rapid change and consolidation, having trusted partners you can depend on matters even more than it ever did.
We want to keep our steady, stable growth curve and continue to expand into the spaces we feel fits us best. Organic growth, partnership growth and continued internal growth to meet the demands of the first two. If we continue along with this path, I expect exciting things in our future.
Q: Is there anything else you would like our readers to know?
Prout: Pinnacle Health is located in Stuart, Florida, and currently utilizes the warehouse previously used by MagnaServ Enterprises. This space has been optimized for the medical imaging that is our specialty. It is a huge asset for our team and our customers as we have the ability to store up to six MRIs inside and eight MRI mobile systems outside. The space has a PET/CT and CT staging bay as well as a soon to be completed MRI staging bay. When not staging imaging systems, we can use these to test parts. Much of our team is made up of former MagnaServ alumni so working at Pinnacle now is like coming full circle for us.
