Radiology Partners adds Larry Hogan to board

Radiology Partners has appointed former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan to its board of directors, according to the company.

The Nashville, TN-based radiology practice said Hogan brings public health, healthcare policy, executive leadership, and personal experience with cancer to the board role. Radiology Partners announced the appointment on May 1.

Hogan served as Maryland’s 62nd governor from 2015 to 2023. He also chaired the National Governors Association from 2019 to 2020, a period that included the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During his governorship, Hogan launched the Maryland Cancer Moonshot Initiative, a $216M investment focused on cancer prevention, detection, treatment, research capacity, and workforce development, Radiology Partners said.

The company also pointed to Hogan’s personal experience with cancer. Shortly after taking office as governor, he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and continued serving while undergoing treatment. Radiology Partners said that experience shaped his advocacy for early detection, research, and innovation in cancer care.

Rich Whitney, MBA, Radiology Partners board chair and CEO, said Hogan brings “a unique combination of executive leadership, healthcare policy perspective and personal experience” to the company.

The appointment comes as Radiology Partners continues to position itself around physician-led practice, clinical innovation, technology, and artificial intelligence. The company said Hogan’s perspective will support its long-term focus on clinical and technology innovation and high-quality radiology services at scale.

Radiology Partners operates through affiliated practices and Mosaic Clinical Technologies, a wholly owned subsidiary. The company describes itself as a technology-enabled radiology practice serving more than 3,400 hospitals and other healthcare facilities with radiology, technology, and AI solutions.

“I know firsthand the importance of timely, accurate diagnosis for patients and families alike,” Hogan said in the announcement.

His appointment adds a former state executive and national political figure to the board of one of the largest radiology practice platforms in the U.S. For radiology groups, the move is notable less as a clinical appointment and more as a governance and policy signal, particularly as large imaging organizations navigate AI deployment, access pressures, reimbursement challenges, and public-facing expectations around diagnostic care.
