(Omaha, NE - January 15, 2026) - Cassling is excited to announce the opening of the application window for the Imaging for Impact Award.
Now in its second year, the Imaging for Impact Award recognizes and celebrates imaging teams’ contributions to keeping care local and improving patient outcomes. Innovators, leaders, technologists, sonographers and healthcare team members from across the spectrum of care provision and healthcare settings are encouraged to apply.
Award finalists will be invited to Cassling’s annual Investing In You Educational Summit to participate in a panel discussion about their stories. The award winner, which will be identified by a group of healthcare professionals (non-Cassling personnel), will be announced at the same summit, which will take place in Omaha, Nebraska, August 24-25, 2026.
For Brian Bradfield, Chief Operating Officer of Cassling, the Imaging for Impact award celebrates the humanity, ingenuity and dedication of imaging teams.
“As someone who has spent years on the front lines of imaging, from hands‑on patient care to leading teams, I’ve seen firsthand the amazing work and creative problem‑solving that define this profession,” said Brian. “This award is an opportunity to honor that spirit. It shines a light on the compassion, the ingenuity, and the unwavering commitment imaging professionals bring to every patient encounter. By elevating these stories, we hope to strengthen the imaging community, share great ideas, and ultimately improve patient outcomes in communities across the country.”
The inaugural Imaging for Impact Award Program last year surfaced a variety of innovative efforts. Finalists included Clearwater Valley Health for their work creating a mobile mammography program and Nebraska Medicine for their accomplishments in imaging field recruitment and retention.
The ultimate winner of the award, announced at last year’s Investing In You Educational Summit, was Children’s Health of Plano, Texas, for their inspiring effort to make the MRI experience more accessible for hearing-impaired patients. Read their story here.
