Solis Mammography announced on October 9 its acquisition of Breast Center of Acadiana in South Louisiana.

Founded in 2008, Breast Center of Acadiana provides patients with an advanced standard of care through two dedicated screening and diagnostic breast radiology imaging locations in Lafayette and Youngsville, Louisiana.

Solis Mammography, a portfolio company of Chicago, Illinois-based private equity firm Madison Dearborn Partners since August 2018, is the largest independent provider of mammography and breast health services in the United States with more than 135 centers.

The acquisition of Breast Center of Acadiana marks Solis Mammography’s first venture in the state of Louisiana and expands its footprint into its 18th major market. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.

“South Louisiana is a vibrant and economically robust region,” said Grant Davies, Chief Executive Officer of Solis Mammography. “We’re looking forward to building on Breast Center of Acadiana’s legacy of quality care by expanding access to state-of-the-art imaging and our suite of innovative clinical advancements. Our goal with every market and every community we enter is to advance our mission of early breast cancer detection to positively impact more lives.”

This marks Solis Mammography’s third deal since August 2023 when it acquired Carolina Breast Imaging in North Carolina. In May 2024, the company acquired MUSIC Mammography and Ultrasound Imaging Center in Gainesville, Florida.

According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this transaction marks the 92nd Laboratories, MRI and Dialysis acquisition of 2024. Of those transactions, 6.5% (six deals) have been announced in the MRI specialty. There were six MRI deals announced during 2023, and seven announced during 2022.
