Lumexa Imaging Achieves Record Expansion with Opening of New Outpatient Imaging Centers
Lumexa Imaging (NASDAQ: LMRI), a leading provider of outpatient imaging services in the United States, has announced a remarkable achievement for 2025 by opening nine new de novo imaging centers. This expansion enhances access to high-quality, cost-effective diagnostic care nationwide.
Details of the New Locations
The latest centers, inaugurated in December, are located in Anderson, South Carolina and Cotswold, North Carolina. This expansion brings Lumexa Imaging’s total to over 185 centers across 13 states, building on previous openings in New York, South Carolina, and Texas that occurred throughout 2025.
Strategic Growth and Future Outlook
According to Caitlin Zulla, the CEO of Lumexa Imaging, "Our consistent success executing on our de novo strategy, including a record year in 2025, is a testament to our team's commitment and the value we deliver to patients and stockholders alike." She emphasized that their mission to enhance patient lives drives the strategic expansion of accessible, high-quality imaging services.
Looking ahead, Lumexa Imaging aims to continue this growth trajectory in 2026 by opening additional de novo locations either independently or in partnership with joint ventures.
The Importance of Outpatient Imaging Centers
As the population ages and the prevalence of chronic and complex conditions rises, facilities like Lumexa Imaging's outpatient centers play a crucial role in delivering timely and accessible healthcare. Patients benefit from extended hours and conveniently located centers situated within some of the country's fastest-growing metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). These advantages make it easier for patients to undergo necessary imaging exams—such as MRIs, CTs, and PET/CTs—typically at a lower cost than hospital-based alternatives.
Commitment to Growth in High-Growth Markets
Chris Core, Chief Growth Officer of Lumexa Imaging, stated, "Lumexa Imaging's de novo growth strategy is focused on high-growth MSAs." The commitment to expanding the firm's footprint has positioned Lumexa Imaging as the second-largest operator of outpatient imaging centers in the nation, with plans to sustain this momentum into the upcoming year.
