U.S. Orthopaedic Partners added Tupelo-based Orthopaedic Institute of North Mississippi in its second partnership in a week.
Orthopaedic Institute of North Mississippi has four locations throughout the state and has six physicians, according to a July 9 news release.
"We are excited by this new partnership with USOP and, as a physician who has been practicing for many years, I have seen times change over the years and the immense burdens that are placed on a practice to keep up with the changes in today's ever-evolving healthcare environment," orthopedic surgeon Eric Lewis, MD, said. "The partnership will give me peace of mind so I can focus on practicing medicine, while leaving the regulatory and administrative burdens to the experts."
The management services organization, which formed in October 2020, announced plans to partner with Birmingham, Ala.-based Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center on July 7.
