May 26, 2023 — Siemens Healthineers and CommonSpirit Health have agreed to acquire Block Imaging. This new acquisition will provide more sustainable options and support increasing demand from U.S. hospitals, health systems, and other care sites for multi-vendor imaging parts and services.

Healthcare providers and industry need to work together to solve our common challenges,” said David Pacitti, president of Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. and head of the Americas, Siemens Healthineers.

Under the agreement, Block Imaging will continue supplying parts to providers across the United States to help create a more sustainable and cost-effective fleet of imaging equipment.

“This acquisition supports our efforts to provide reliable, accessible medical care in the communities we serve, and also aligns with our commitment to sustainable choices for the healthcare industry,” said Marvin O’Quinn, president and chief operating officer of CommonSpirit Health.
