Siemens Provides $3.2 Million Tax-Exempt Financing to Outpatient Imaging Facility

ISELIN, N.J., June 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Siemens Financial Services, Inc. (SFS Inc.), the U.S. unit of Siemens' Financial Services division, recently provided a $3.2 million tax-exempt finance solution to North Oakland – North Macomb Imaging, Inc. in Rochester Hills, Michigan, helping them to acquire a new Siemens Magnetic Resonance (MR) system and make significant facility improvements needed to house the new MR system.  This outpatient facility is equally owned and operated by three not-for-profit hospitals; Crittenton Hospital, POH Medical Center and Mt. Clemens General.

"State-of-the-art diagnostic imaging equipment allows healthcare providers to provide a better level of care and treatment to patients," said Kirk Edelman, president and chief executive officer, SFS Inc. "With the rapid advancements in diagnostic imaging equipment, it's important that healthcare providers have the ability to fund new technology needed to enhance services to the community. We are glad that we can provide the necessary capital to fund projects like these."  

"Many stand-alone imaging centers are looking to become part of a hospital system. Simultaneously, many hospitals are looking to open or acquire outpatient imaging centers in order to enhance their service offerings to the community," said John Sandstrom, senior vice president and general manager of healthcare finance, SFS Inc. "Due to our 25 years experience as a dedicated healthcare lender, we are very familiar with this changing landscape and have been able to be both a financier and a strategic business associate. Tax-exempt financing is often not considered for outpatient facilities.  The tax-exempt financing for North Oakland – North Macomb Imaging, Inc. is an example of a solution more people should think about."  

"Our working experience with Siemens Financial Services has been very positive. The team is very knowledgeable, not only as it relates to putting the tax-exempt financing together, but also of our business model and how we provide service to our patients," said Janelle Spann, executive director, North Oakland-North Macomb Imaging, Inc. "This made it very easy for us to work together. Additionally, their professionalism and customer service exceeded our expectations. We look forward to working with them again in the future."
