Introducing Dignity Health Advanced Imaging (DHAI), the new branding of Mercy Imaging Centers. Along with the name change, DHAI announces a newly enhanced partnership agreement with Hill Physicians Medical Group (HPMG). As of January 1, 2021, DHAI is now the primary, preferred imaging provider for HPMG patients with Western Health Advantage (WHA) insurance. As such, all HPMG patients with Western Health Advantage will only be referred to DHAI or independent imaging locations.

HPMG physicians and practices were notified of the new partnership in November. Established patients were sent notification by email and mail as well.

“We are proud of our long-standing and successful partnership with Hill Physicians Medical Group,” said Rich Martinez, Executive Director of Outpatient Imaging, Dignity Health Advanced Imaging. “Providing access to affordable high-quality care is a key focus for both organizations, and we are very excited for what this new alignment will mean for HPMG patients and improving continuity of care.”

DHAI provides comprehensive imaging services in the Sacramento region and has six comprehensive imaging centers and seven diagnostic imaging centers throughout the Sacramento region that offer 3D mammography, MRI, and digital X-ray’s among many other specialty services. DHAI also has three diagnostic imaging centers located in the Woodland area.
