West Physics Consulting announced on January 13 that it has entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Mid-South Medical Physics. The partnership with Mid-South includes a multi-phase acquisition of Mid-South by West Physics, allowing Mid-South’s owner and President, Mr. Paul Beck, to gradually retire as West Physics supports him and his customers with services and expertise.
Founded in 2003, Mid-South Medical Physics is a medical and health physics services provider based in West Fork, Arkansas. The company provides its services to clients throughout Arkansas and northern Louisiana.
West Physics is a global provider of medical and health physics testing and radiation safety consulting services. West Physics’ team of approximately 140 professionals serve more than 6,000 client sites, including hospitals, freestanding imaging centers, mobile imaging providers and physician offices throughout the 50 U.S. states, federal territories, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
The partnership includes the establishment of a West Physics field office in Fayetteville, Arkansas, helping West Physics enhance its nationwide footprint and deliver physics support in Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas. West Physics and Mid-South will leverage the combined expertise and resources of the two companies to enhance product offerings and customer experiences while the transition to West Physics is underway. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
According to data captured in the LevinPro HC database, this transaction represents the first medical physics acquisition of 2025. There were four deals announced in the medical physics specialty during 2024, two announced during 2023 and three announced during 2022.
This also marks West Physics’ first deal of 2025, and its third acquisition overall. The company acquired Slidell, Louisiana-based Enterprise Physics in February 2023, followed by Tricord, Inc.‘s medical physics service division in April 2024.
