Posted on: Tuesday, 7 October 2008, 12:00 CDT
Impulse Monitoring, Inc. (IMI), a leading provider of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) services to hospitals, today announced that it has signed an agreement with Charlton Memorial Hospital, the Fall River, Massachusetts site of Southcoast Hospitals Group. IMI will provide Charlton Memorial with comprehensive IONM services including training of Charlton's neurophysiologists as well as monitoring by IMI-qualified neurophysiologists and real-time professional oversight by experienced physicians.
