Canada Diagnostic Centres Acquires Shift Imaging in Alberta
CDC, backed by Novacap, expands its Canadian imaging footprint by acquiring Grande Prairie's Shift Imaging clinic.
Canada Diagnostic Centres (CDC), a Calgary-based diagnostic imaging provider backed by private equity firm Novacap, announced Monday the acquisition of Shift Imaging, a medical imaging clinic operating in Grande Prairie, Alberta. The deal extends CDC's community-focused diagnostic network further into northern Alberta, a region where access to imaging services has historically been limited compared to major urban centers.
CDC has positioned itself as one of Canada's leading community-based diagnostic imaging companies, and the Shift Imaging purchase reflects a broader consolidation trend sweeping the Canadian private diagnostic sector. Private equity-backed health platforms have increasingly pursued bolt-on acquisitions to build regional scale, improve operational efficiency, and meet growing patient demand for accessible imaging outside hospital settings.

Novacap, a Canadian private equity firm with a track record of healthcare sector investments, continues to support CDC's acquisition-driven growth strategy.
