Working for you....
Satellite Services is a point of care service offered by St. Christopher’s Imaging to individual practitioners who desire to take control of their patients imaging care. Realizing that Imaging is a critical part of the diagnostic process, front line providers understand that it is essential to have access to diagnostic imaging without the delays inherent to traditional imaging sources. No longer does the E. R. need to be your urgent imaging source because the Radiology department is booked for the day. Running a practice has challenges; high quality imaging done in a timely manner should never be one of those challenges. You now have options.
