NE Patriots Partner With Shields as Official MRI Provider
Shields Health Care Group, the leading independent imaging provider in New England, announced today that it has renewed its partnership with the Kraft Sports Group and will remain the official MRI provider of the New England Patriots and the New England Revolution, a position it has held since 2008.
The partnership between Shields and the Kraft Sports Group is a natural fit. The local health care provider is a true champion in MRI, providing the most advanced imaging technology and receiving national recognition for its exceptional care. Patients suffering from sports-related injuries have their scans read by physicians who are sub-specialized in MRI across 10 clinical areas and perform more than 100,000 imaging exams a year.
“Continuing our partnership as the official MRI provider for these New England professional sports teams speaks to the trust the Patriots and the Revolution have in the quality care we provide at Shields,” said Thomas A. Shields, president of Shields Health Care Group. “So many of our patients, employees and partners are athletes and fans, making this partnership even more exciting for us. We are proud and honored to work with our New England champions.”
“We are proud to continue our relationship with Shields as the official MRI provider of the Patriots and the Revolution,” said Jonathan Kraft, president of the Kraft Sports Group. “We appreciate that Shields is a local, family-owned company and value the care it provides to our athletes.”
The Massachusetts-based company is also the official MRI provider for the Boston Celtics and the Boston Bruins.
Shields Health Care Group is a family-owned and operated business and was New England’s first independent imaging provider 25 years ago. Today, Shields has more than 25 ACR-accredited locations throughout Massachusetts and strong partnerships with some of the top health care and technology providers in the country. Shields provides a diverse offering of MRI, radiation oncology, PET/CT imaging and ProCare services. It is the Shields focus, experience and commitment that have helped the company grow to be the largest and most technically advanced network of medical imaging facilities and the largest network of radiation oncology treatment centers in New England. www.shields.com
