Imaging Center quietly closes its doors

Due to a lack of clients, the Imaging Center of Columbia, 369 Locust Street, has closed its doors for the last time, despite having a 3-year lease obligation. The center opened on November 1, 2012.

Workers finished moving furniture and equipment this past Friday.

Lancaster Regional and Heart of Lancaster medical centers had leased the space from Cimarron Investments.

  1. Lack of. paying customers is more like it. This is not a good sign for other businesses looking to open a business. Most of the residents in this town don't have any money left after paying necessities to spend on anything else.

  2. It's a shame to lose this business but I think it was there own fault. They had no evening hours any days and no Saturday hours. Should've been open later few days and had some Saturday hours.

  5. You are correct – this is the reposnibility of Regional and its doctors in not recommending Columbia Borough Imaging Center to patients instead of the old hospital. Its not as if this was a walkup type of facility – needed appointments due to the specilaized nature of the work done here. Agree with the next post that a “Patient First” or any other emergency center is needed.
