Akumin, a provider of diagnostic imaging and oncology solutions, has partnered with Wisconsin-based manufacturer CGS Premier to form Mobile Healthcare Innovations (MHI), a joint venture focused on producing Akumin AXIS relocatable clinics. The partners have opened an 85,400-square-foot facility in New Berlin, Wisconsin, designed for high-volume production. Akumin AXIS units are self-contained imaging and oncology clinics with pre-installed MRI, PET or LINAC technology. The venture aims to address growing demand for imaging and oncology services across the United States. Akumin operates one of the nation's largest networks of fixed-site radiology centres and mobile solutions, partnering with over 800 hospitals and physician groups. The investment supports local job creation whilst positioning Akumin for continued expansion.

Akumin Inc. has secured $154 million in new capital from Stonepeak, an alternative investment firm, to support long-term growth of its imaging and radiation oncology services. The company is also restructuring its debt with noteholders representing over 95% of its outstanding senior secured notes. Under the agreement, Akumin's existing debt will be exchanged for new senior secured notes due in 2031, carrying a 9.75% interest rate that can drop to 8.75% if certain credit targets are met. The company's revolving credit facility, with roughly $119 million outstanding, will convert into preferred equity or move to a lower-priority position. The restructuring follows Akumin's recent launch of new offerings at the Radiological Society of North America meeting, including its Axis Drop Trailer and relocatable MRI suites.
