Global Medical Imaging (GMI) Growth Capital Investment

Company looks forward to accelerated growth

Charlotte, NC – (June 5, 2009) – Global Medical Imaging, LLC (GMI), a leading provider of diagnostic ultrasound systems and servicing, announced today that it has secured a capital investment from WJ Partners, LLC to help fund its accelerated future growth plans.

Since its inception in 2002, GMI has rapidly grown into the largest non-OEM ultrasound provider in the United States. GMI has built the leading R&D probe repair facility in the world and developed the capabilities to fully support all major manufacturer platforms found in both private practice and hospital settings, including the Philip’s iU22-iE33 platforms.

GMI’s founders, Scott Ray and Ryan Dienst, have been focused on building on these successes and extending the company’s exceptional growth. They see tremendous opportunities in the market and have secured this investment to strengthen and expand GMI’s position as the leading alternative to the OEMs in selling, supporting, and maintaining diagnostic ultrasound equipment.

In addition to retaining a significant ownership in GMI, Dienst and Ray will continue to manage the business and lead its outstanding team. The growth capital investment comes from WJ Partners, LLC, a private investment firm based in Spartanburg, South Carolina led by George Dean Johnson, Jr. and Benjamin Wall.

Founders Dienst and Ray are thrilled about the opportunity. “Securing this capital allows us to accelerate our plans to reach more customers with a cost effective solution for diagnostic ultrasound and enables us to better fulfill our mission of ‘Lowering the Cost of High Quality Healthcare’™. To be able to do this with partners like Mr. Johnson who founded or help build companies like Extended Stay America, Advance America and Blockbuster Entertainment is truly exciting.”
