Newly formed MSO to support orthopedic practices and ASCs with strategic growth, back-end operations and clinical autonomy
LATHAM, N.Y., Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Evolve Orthopedic Partners (Evolve), a newly launched physician-led management services organization (MSO), today announced its formation, the appointment of veteran healthcare executive Jerry Tillinger as chief executive officer and its first foundational partnership with OrthoNY, one of the New York Capital Region’s leading orthopedic groups.
Evolve, backed by healthcare investment firm Zenyth Partners (“Zenyth”), was established to help high-performing orthopedic practices and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) grow by handling their nonclinical operations, allowing providers to focus fully on patient care. The model aims to streamline back-end functions like billing, HR, compliance, marketing and IT while preserving clinical autonomy at the local level.
“Evolve is here to meet a clear need in today’s orthopedic landscape,” said Tillinger. “Physician groups want to modernize and expand, but they don’t want to compromise their identity or care quality. We provide that bridge, with physician leadership at the center.”
Tillinger brings a proven track record in scaling healthcare organizations, most recently serving as Chief Executive Officer of U.S. Digestive Health, one of the nation’s largest and fastest-growing gastroenterology practices. He holds advanced degrees in health administration and business from Georgia State University and a bachelor’s degree in English from Emory University.
OrthoNY, which operates across Albany, Clifton Park, Glens Falls, Saratoga, Schenectady and surrounding areas, will retain the OrthoNY brand name but will now operate under the Evolve platform. “This is about building something that works better for our physicians, our staff and our patients,” said OrthoNY President Frank Congiusta, MD. “By partnering with Evolve, we’re strengthening the operational foundation that allows us to grow with purpose – so we can stay focused on what matters most: delivering exceptional care for our patients and the communities we serve.”
Evolve is headquartered in New York’s Capital Region and is actively exploring continued growth within and beyond its existing markets.
