Hear from some of our newest partners:

I love my work, but I also have many interests outside of my practice. Coming to CRA has brought my clinical and academic life into a much better balance with my personal life, and I am grateful for it. I feel energized as a radiologist and as a mom of two toddlers. My colleagues at CRA are amazing and I am proud to be part of the team.
