What Centella does

Centella is a privately-held, family-owned healthcare technology company headquartered in Miami, Florida, with operating roots dating to 1967 (and predecessor activity founded in Cuba in 1935). The company operates as the exclusive Siemens Healthineers Advanced Partner in South Florida, distributing and servicing the full Siemens medical imaging portfolio including MRI (MAGNETOM Sola, Altea, Aera, Vida, Lumina, Prisma, Cima.X, Terra, Free.Max), CT (SOMATOM X.Cite, Force, Drive, Edge Plus, go.Top), hybrid PET/MRI and PET/CT (Biograph mMR, Vision, Vision Quadra), angiography (ARTIS icono, pheno), mammography (MAMMOMAT Revelation, B.brilliant), ultrasound (ACUSON Sequoia), surgical C-arms (Cios Spin, Alpha), fluoroscopy (Luminos dRF Max), and robotic X-ray (Multitom Rax). In 2024, the company rebranded from Med-Lab to Centella and expanded into Healthcare Technology Solutions (HTS), extending its scope beyond Siemens equipment to multi-vendor imaging services and biomedical device management.

Centella monetizes through a mix of capital equipment sales, recurring full-service agreements (managed services with preventive maintenance, remote monitoring, application support, and uptime guarantees), Healthcare Technology Solutions (Multi-Vendor Imaging Services and Biomedical Services with RTLS), project planning and installation services, and Education & Workforce Solutions (FlexForce staffing, CrewPlace, WeScan remote scanning, STEP development, FlexForce Coach). Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with territory-dedicated account executives covering Florida, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia for equipment, with HTS and full-service agreements concentrated in South Florida. A customer portal (CentellaConnect) supports ongoing service management. Disclosed operational metrics include 98%+ uptime performance against a 95% contractual minimum, a 1.02-hour average response time (66% of the time), 73–85% first/second call fix rates, and a Net Promoter Score of 9 out of 10.

The company serves 13+ named healthcare systems and imaging centers including Jackson Health System, Memorial Healthcare System, Baptist Health South Florida, University of Miami Health System, Broward Health, HCA Healthcare, Lee Health, Mount Sinai Medical Center, Nicklaus Children's Hospital, Tenet Healthcare, Radiology Regional, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Centella employs 135 people with over 60 field engineers stationed across South Florida — reportedly twice the count of its closest regional competitor — and is led by fourth-generation CEO Gonzalo Diaz III. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and FDA compliance, and AI features (AI Rad Companion, WeScan, Syngo, Smart Remote Service) are deployed as part of the Siemens Healthineers product line rather than developed in-house.

Direct peers

• Block Imaging International: Independent service organization and reseller of medical imaging equipment (MRI, CT, X-Ray, etc.) across multiple OEMs. Directly comparable to Centella's equipment resale and multi-vendor service model, though operating at a larger national scale.
• Avante Health Solutions: Distributor and service provider of new and refurbished medical imaging equipment across hospitals and imaging centers. Matches Centella's combined equipment sales + multi-vendor service positioning.
• BC Technical (acquired by Trivitron Healthcare): Independent service and parts provider for medical imaging equipment including MRI, CT, and ultrasound. Direct competitor in the multi-vendor imaging service space, with a similar OEM-trained engineer model.
• Agiliti Health: Healthcare technology management and medical equipment services company providing on-site clinical engineering, imaging services, and equipment rental to hospitals. Comparable multi-vendor service and biomed positioning to Centella's HTS.
• Radiology Oncology Systems (ROS): Independent service and parts provider for radiology and oncology imaging equipment. Direct competitor in multi-vendor imaging service contracts for hospitals and imaging centers.

Broad incumbents

• Siemens Healthineers: OEM manufacturer of Centella's core product portfolio. Not a direct competitor in the same channels, but Centella's exclusive Siemens Advanced Partner role is gated on, and competitive pressure exists from, Siemens' own direct service organization.
• GE HealthCare: Major OEM of medical imaging equipment and direct service provider. Centella's MVIS explicitly supports GE equipment, putting GE's own service arm in competitive overlap on multi-vendor service contracts.
• Philips Healthcare: Major OEM of imaging and diagnostic equipment with a direct service organization. Like GE, Philips is both a Centella-supported vendor (via MVIS) and a competitive direct service provider to shared hospital accounts.
• Hologic: Mammography and women's health imaging OEM. Centella explicitly supports Hologic systems under MVIS, making Hologic a vendor-partner and a competitive service organization in mammography service contracts.

Emerging players

• Altapoint Healthcare Technology: Healthcare technology services firm focused on multi-vendor imaging and biomedical support. Smaller regional emerging player with overlapping service offering to Centella's HTS business.
