MedQuest Associates
MedQuest Associates is a family office led by Bruce Elder, owning and operating over 50 outpatient imaging centers in partnership with US health systems.
MedQuest Associates
MedQuest Associates was founded by the Elder family, though the year of founding and wealth origin are not publicly disclosed. The firm operates as a single-family office that directly owns and manages a portfolio of outpatient diagnostic imaging facilities. MedQuest targets a single asset class: outpatient imaging centers, with a network of over 50 facilities under management. The firm structures deals primarily as joint ventures with hospitals and health systems, providing full turnkey management including operations, marketing, billing, and center development. Confirmed partners include health systems across the US, though specific named partners are not publicly listed. Bruce Elder, CEO, has led all strategy and development since 2014, including hospital partnerships and acquisitions. The leadership team includes seven named executives, with CFO Anisha Madan recognized as CFO of the Year by the Nashville Business Journal. The firm maintains offices in Alpharetta, GA, and Tupelo, MS. MedQuest's structural differentiator is its exclusive focus on outpatient imaging in partnership with health systems — a narrow vertical where it acts as both owner-operator and manager, rather than a diversified investor. Its operating-company model allows it to drive operational efficiency and quality improvements while providing hospital partners with an outsourced radiology platform.
