Square 1 Bank, a division of Pacific Western Bank, has provided a multi-million dollar credit facility to existing client Foundation Radiology Group, a leading provider of diagnostic imaging services for community hospitals. Cafferty & Company served as independent advisor to Foundation Radiology Group on the financing. Proceeds will provide working capital to support the company's accelerated growth.

The company focuses on elevating radiology to a strategic-level service by maximizing clinical quality, integration and responsiveness. Foundation Radiology Group uses the latest technology and an elite team of radiology subspecialists to directly contribute to client success and, ultimately, improve patient care and outcomes.

"We are pleased to continue to have the support of Square 1 Bank as we continue to demonstrate to community hospitals that radiology can be the foundation for their success."

Mara Huntington, managing director of Square 1 Bank's life sciences practice, added, "Since Square 1 began working with Foundation Radiology Group five years ago, the company has expanded its presence significantly. We are delighted to continue supporting its growth and commitment to making timely high-quality subspecialty radiology services accessible in all medical facilities."
