At the  2025   Meriplex Healthcare Summit,  OrthoCarolina's CEO, Dr. Leo Spector, presented on how independent practices are shaping the future of MSK care by  taking ownership of the entire patient journey and aligning incentives across employers, clinicians, and patients.   “Orthopedics has the volume, cost profile, and predictability to lead in prospective bundles. Own the patient relationship, standardize the pathway, and use technology to make it scale.”   - Leo Spector,
