About Norman Hames

President & Chief Operating Officer of Western Operations · RADNET INC

Norman Hames, President and Chief Operating Officer of Western Operations at RadNet, has been involved in a joint venture with MemorialCare, announced in 2020, to create what he described as the largest imaging network serving Orange County. In interviews, Hames stated that the collaboration aims to provide comprehensive, cost-effective care by funneling patients through RadNet's imaging facilities into MemorialCare's health system, which includes surgeons, oncologists, and outpatient surgery. He characterized MemorialCare as "one of the most progressive health systems" he has encountered and said the partnership is intended to "complete the circle" of care, addressing what he called a historically fragmented healthcare system. Hames has discussed changes in the diagnostic imaging industry, including the use of MRI for prostate ablation and uterine fibroids, and the potential delivery of chemotherapy via nuclear medicine radioisotopes. He also highlighted the role of artificial intelligence in radiology for consistent diagnosis and data analysis. In a 2012 interview, Hames noted RadNet's expansion in Murrieta, California, where the company planned to add approximately 50 high-paying jobs and provide a vertically integrated model of breast care, including a same-day answer program. He emphasized that RadNet's facilities require specialized construction and that the company typically remains in its locations for 15 to 25 years or longer.
