HOUSTON, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Principle Health Systems, a major provider of mobile diagnostic services to long-term care facilities across the Southern and Central United States, announced the acquisition of select assets from a mobile diagnostic imaging company serving the greater St. Louis, Missouri and surrounding areas. The transaction extends Principle’s portable imaging services into a new metropolitan market and adds bedside X-ray, ultrasound and EKG capabilities for long-term care partners across the region.

The acquisition brings experienced imaging technologists, mobile equipment and established facility relationships into Principle’s operations. Facilities in the area can expect continuity of the bedside service they rely on today, now backed by Principle’s scheduling, reporting and support infrastructure. By keeping diagnostic imaging inside the facility, Principle enables care teams to act on results sooner, avoid unnecessary resident transports, and keep diagnostic workflows simple for facility staff.

James Dieter, CEO of Principle Health Systems, commented on the acquisition: “This acquisition gives us a strong presence in the Missouri and Illinois areas and brings on a team of technologists who already know these facilities and the residents they serve. Our first priority is a seamless transition, with no interruption in care for our partners. From there, we look forward to bringing the same responsiveness, clinical quality and standard of excellence our clients have come to expect from Principle.”

The acquisition also advances Principle’s role as a single-source diagnostic partner for long-term care. In addition to portable imaging, Principle provides mobile laboratory services, so facilities can rely on one experienced team for both their laboratory and imaging needs. As its regional presence grows, Principle continues to reduce vendor complexity while improving the experience for residents, families and care teams.

This transaction is part of Principle Health Systems’ ongoing strategy to expand into new markets, broaden service capabilities, deepen support for long-term care partners, and continue building a scalable, quality-obsessed mobile diagnostics platform.
