(Kennewick, WA), Kennewick General Hospital has signed an agreement with a newly organized group of radiologists for professional services to the hospital. Under terms of the agreement, Dr. Richard Rhee will be responsible for developing a permanent, full-service, 24/7, on-site radiology department at KGH. Dr. Rhee received his medical doctor degree from Boston University and completed residencies at Dartmouth and the University of Washington. He most recently worked as a Medical Resonance Imaging fellow at the University of California at San Diego. The new radiology team will include consistent, on-site radiologists providing comprehensive radiology services.
One of the radiologists joining Dr. Rhee in practice at KGH will be Dr. Sonny Patidar, a Boston radiologist. Dr. Patidar was previously an attending radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital and an instructor at Harvard Medical School.
The new on-site radiology team will provide timely readings for patients and providers at KGH both in-patient and out-patient. “This new radiology team has the expertise and skill that we need to provide our patients with top quality imaging services,” stated Glen Marshall, CEO at Kennewick General Hospital. “These physicians are highly regarded in their field and will significantly enhance our surgical and patient care services. We are very fortunate they have chosen to work for Kennewick General,” said Marshall.
Dr. Richard Rhee added, “We are extremely pleased to have been selected to provide radiology consultative services to KGH. We look forward to becoming part of the exciting growth in the community and at the hospital. This hospital will set the standard for advanced imaging services in the region, and we are proud to be a part of its development.”
