Commonwealth Radiology Associates Announces New Partnership with Heywood Healthcare

Commonwealth Radiology Associates (CRA), the premier private practice radiology group in northern New England, today announces a new partnership in which the group will provide comprehensive radiology services to Heywood Healthcare facilities in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

Located in the greater-Boston area, Commonwealth Radiology Associates’ specialty-trained physicians provide a wide variety of diagnostic and interventional radiology services across 20 locations in Northeastern Massachusetts and Southern Maine. Heywood Healthcare is an independent, community-owned healthcare system dedicated to providing quality healthcare services in North Central Massachusetts.

CRA will now expand their presence in Massachusetts with the addition of Heywood Healthcare’s two hospitals, Heywood Hospital and Athol Hospital, and its nine satellite facilities across the north central region of the state and into New Hampshire.

To ensure they could continue to provide exceptional care, Heywood Healthcare searched for a comprehensive radiology partner capable of adapting to the evolving needs of their patient community in this challenging healthcare environment. With CRA's reputation for providing world-class care in the region, they emerged as the ideal partner for Heywood.

Rozanna Penney, CRNA, MBA, President and CEO at Heywood Healthcare, states, “In today's increasingly complex healthcare landscape, partnering with a reliable radiology provider is essential for any hospital's success. Commonwealth Radiology Associates brings unparalleled expertise and scalability, making them the perfect match for Heywood's continued growth. We look forward to working with them."

According to Dr. Francis Sweeney, Chief Medical Officer at Heywood Healthcare, “Our team of radiologists is excited to join forces with Commonwealth Radiology Associates as they continue to provide top-notch care to our patients and service to referring physicians.”

“At CRA, our mission is to deliver exceptional service to our patients, hospital partners, and referring physicians,” says Dr. Allan Hoffman, President of Commonwealth Radiology Associates. “We are thrilled to expand our presence in the region by collaborating with Heywood Healthcare. Partnerships like this are vital as we address the unique challenges of today's healthcare landscape. We eagerly anticipate working hand-in-hand with our new colleagues, the talented medical staff at Heywood, to ensure each patient receives the best possible care.”

Commonwealth Radiology Associates will independently operate The Imaging Center at Heywood Hospital. Senior Heywood Hospital radiology staff will be retained and employed by CRA.

CRA began providing radiology coverage at Heywood on February 1, 2025, and will officially assume management of the imaging service line on June 1, 2025.
