Lumexa Imaging Advances Growth Strategy by Adding Four New Imaging Centers
RALEIGH, N.C., May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lumexa Imaging (NASDAQ:LMRI), one of the nation's largest providers of outpatient imaging services, today announced the addition of four new locations in 2026 as part of its continued execution against a disciplined, multi-channel growth strategy. The new centers are located in Spartanburg, South Carolina; Concord, North Carolina; Wexford, Pennsylvania; and Niceville, Florida.
Two of the new locations were added through acquisitions with Lumexa Imaging's joint venture partners, Advocate Health and UPMC, further advancing Lumexa Imaging's strategy to expand in high-growth markets through partnerships with leading health systems. With these two acquisitions and two de novos, Lumexa Imaging now operates more than 190 outpatient imaging centers nationwide.
"This expansion reflects consistent execution against our focused growth model," said Caitlin Zulla, Chief Executive Officer of Lumexa Imaging. "Year to date, we have completed two acquisitions and opened two de novo centers, helping keep us on pace on our goal of delivering 8 to 10 de novos annually. The addition of our Wexford, Pennsylvania site also represents the first contribution with our new joint venture with UPMC, an important milestone in our long-term, scalable partnership."
Lumexa Imaging benefits from durable long-term tailwinds, including an aging population, the expansion of imaging-driven treatment pathways, rising preventative screening rates, and a sustained shift from hospital based to outpatient imaging within a fragmented and capacity-constrained industry.
"Our continued expansion, particularly through joint ventures, reflects the repeatability and capital efficiency of our growth strategy," continued Ms. Zulla. "We partner with leading health systems to expand access to high-quality, cost-effective outpatient imaging, supporting the continued shift to lower-cost sites of care driven by both patients and payors."
As Lumexa Imaging advances through 2026 and beyond, the company expects to continue executing its growth strategy through a combination of de novo development, acquisitions, and strategic joint ventures, supporting sustained expansion and long-term value creation.
