DANVILLE, Pa. – Scotty Collins, MD, a seasoned radiologist with extensive leadership experience, has been named Geisinger’s chair of radiology after serving as interim chair since April 2024. He assumed the permanent position on Wednesday, Nov. 20.
With more than 15 years of radiology experience, Dr. Collins has served in various leadership roles with direct physician management. He has been with Geisinger since completing his diagnostic radiology residency at Geisinger Medical Center in 2007.

During his Geisinger tenure, Dr. Collins has recruited more than 50 radiologists, implemented electronic scheduling rules designed for efficiency and productivity management, and worked with providers to improve clinical care and access through shorter turnaround times on radiology testing results.
