- On July 15, 2025, the Board of Directors of Image Plus Consultants Limited (IPCL) advised that the company reached an agreement with Dr Verna Reid for IPCL to acquire the assets and brand of The Woman’s Place (TWP).
- TWP is a Jamaican company, incorporated and domiciled locally, and has been providing medical imaging services since 2006, with a strong focus on mammography. TWP, led by Dr Verna Reid, has built a reputation as a trusted provider in its field and has maintained a solid track record of financial performance, according to IPCL in a notice published on the website of the Jamaica Stock Exchange.
- “This marks an important step forward for our business,” said Kisha Anderson, CEO of IPCL. “We look forward to continuing to serve the patients of The Woman’s Place under the Apex Radiology banner, while broadening access and enhancing what they have come to expect in terms of care and service. We anticipate ongoing patient satisfaction, profit and operational benefits as we incorporate these resources into our service offerings.”
- That said, the proposed acquisition is subject to the successful execution of a definitive sale and purchase agreement. The company noted that, once concluded, further information will be shared through market disclosures.
- Dr Karlene McDonnough, Chairman of the board, noted that the acquisition is aligned with IPCL’s growth priorities: “The addition of these assets and the established brand fits neatly into our plans to inorganically grow market share and enhance our service offering in this specialised area of diagnostic imaging. We are also elated that Dr Reid will continue to offer her caring services to patients as a part of the team of committed Consultant Radiologists at Apex Radiology.”
