Medical laboratory service provider makes acquisition

CML HealthCare, already one of Canada's largest providers of medical laboratory services, has announced the acquisition of another 14 medical imaging clinics in Ontario, Alberta and B.C.
The Mississauga-based firm, which has its headquarters on Kennedy Rd., has acquired six medical imaging operations that operate a total of 14 clinics in the Greater Vancouver area, Alberta, Niagara Falls and St. Catharines.
The deal also means the company acquires the Calgary Women's Imaging Centre, the only one in the country exclusively for women.
"We are pleased to further strengthen our market presence and referring
physician networks in key strategic markets in central and western Canada," said Paul Bristow, president and CEO of CML HealthCare.
"Our pending acquisition of CWIC in Calgary, Canada's first and only imaging and interventional clinic dedicated exclusively to women, will provide us with a unique opportunity to advance the development of a women's diagnostic imaging platform in Canada, while also strengthening our presence in the Alberta market," Bristow said.
CML HealthCare Inc. is the largest private provider of medical imaging services in Canada.
