OrthoIndy, Tri-State Orthopaedics and Fort Wayne Orthopedics have announced a merger to form OrthoIndiana, an integrated practice for orthopedic care in Indiana, according to a press release.
“This scale makes OrthoIndiana one of the 10 largest independent orthopedic practices in the nation, and it ensures our practices can continue to provide top-tier orthopedic care while implementing strategies to avoid the rising costs associated with health care nationwide,” Paul E. Perry, MD, president of Tri-State Orthopaedics, said in the release.
OrthoIndy, located in Indianapolis; Tri-State Orthopaedics, located in Evansville; and Fort Wayne Orthopedics, located in Fort Wayne, will continue clinical operations separately. The groups will also maintain their boards, while creating a new, shared board of directors, according to the release.
“We are grateful for the opportunity to embark on this journey alongside Tri-State Orthopaedics and Fort Wayne Orthopedics — two outstanding orthopedic practices that share our vision for patient-centered care and independence,” Edward Hellman, MD, president of OrthoIndy, said in the release. “Taking into account OrthoIndy’s alignment with the Lafayette Orthopedic Clinic in 2023, and its recently announced alignment with Indiana Hand to Shoulder Center to occur later this spring, OrthoIndiana is poised to become a statewide orthopedic network that is accessible to every Hoosier.”
“This merger aims to amplify our commitment to the patients we serve through the practices’ ability to share technology, clinical data, best practices and administrative expertise,” Jerald L. Cooper, MD, president of Fort Wayne Orthopedics, said in the release.
OrthoIndiana is expected to launch this year. The practice will include 39 locations, 160 physicians and more than 1,800 staff members, according to the release.
