Project Description

My mission is to raise capital to put towards the initial opening stages of a diagnostic imaging center located in South Atlanta. 

I'm a radiologic technologist who knows firsthand what low cost imaging options are available to Atlanta residents.  Currently in the South Atlanta area, patients have to go to hospital-based or hospital-affiliated centers to have simple diagnostic exams where they are required to pay for way more then their exam.  The next option would be to travel 20+ miles from their home to get affordable, high-quality imaging that does not include unnecessary costs associated with hospitals. 

As an imaging professional, who has to travel 20 miles from my own home to work at a low cost imaging center, I would like to open one closer to home to serve customers in my area.  Physicians and attorneys in the area currently refer to my company, but many patients decline to see us because it is so far.  I have faith that if an option for low cost medical imaging is in the community, referring physicians, injury attorneys, and patients nearby will support. 

According to rfdtv.com, "The Diagnostic X-Ray Imaging market revenue was 6038 Million USD in 2019, and will reach 8250 Million USD in 2025, with a CAGR of 5.34% during 2020-2025 (2021).  The market for medical imaging is one that will continue to grow with an aging Baby Boomer population and the need for medical professionals to diagnose conditions as accurately as possible.  X-ray isn't going anywhere anytime soon!

In the first two years of business, I will offer low cost XRAY imaging services to customers--with a goal to add diagnostic ultrasound imaging in the 3rd year.  If enough funding is raised in the first year, ultrasound will be offered in the first year.  Opening this image center will offer physicians and their patients an option closer to home from imaging that does not include the high overhead costs of hospital-based imaging center,

I am seeking funding to purchase a digital XRAY machine, obtain permits and legal documents, pay the first 6 months of rent, and assist with marketing.  

Who is on your team?  My team currently consist of--Octavia Bundrage (owner/organizer), Kimberly Lawson (marketing).  Hopefully, you too will be a part of this winning team and take advantage of this winning opportunity. 

Thank you for reading and for your future support.  Please feel free to contact me for any questions.
