Canada Diagnostic Centres Acquires Shift Imaging in Alberta
CDC, backed by private equity firm Novacap, has snapped up Grande Prairie's Shift Imaging to expand its community diagnostics footprint.
Canada Diagnostic Centres (CDC) just got a little bigger. The Calgary-based medical imaging company — which operates as part of Novacap's investment portfolio — announced it has acquired Shift Imaging, a medical imaging clinic serving Grande Prairie, Alberta. It's the kind of deal that quietly shapes how everyday Canadians access health services in their own communities.
For those unfamiliar with the players here: CDC is one of Canada's larger community-based diagnostic imaging providers, meaning it runs the clinics where you'd go for X-rays, ultrasounds, and similar scans outside of a hospital setting. Novacap is a Canadian private equity firm that backs the company — essentially the money and strategic muscle behind CDC's growth moves.

Grande Prairie is a mid-sized city in northwestern Alberta, and adding Shift Imaging's local presence there signals CDC's continued push to deepen its reach across the province. Community-based imaging clinics matter because they take pressure off overcrowded hospital systems and give patients faster, more convenient access to diagnostic services closer to home.
While financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, acquisitions like this one are a classic private equity playbook move — buy, expand, and build scale in a fragmented market. Canada's diagnostic imaging sector, largely driven by provincial healthcare demand, has been attracting steady consolidation interest in recent years.
