Jarrod Huey, M.D.
Founder & CEO
Dr. Jarrod D. Huey started his professional career as a clincal anesthesiologist and healthcare leader after completing training in the Department of Anesthesiology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. His early medical education, including didactic and clinical education, was completed at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine and the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Mississippi, respectively. Prior to medical school, Dr. Huey earned his undergraduate degree at the historic Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia, where he established a foundation for professionalism and leadership.
Soon after accepting his first clinical staff position at a surburban Atlanta hospital, Dr. Huey founded Concordia Anesthesiology, Inc. with the intention of building a new type of anesthesia practice management company; a company that would always include physicians within the leadership and ownership structure. While still working full time as an anesthesiologist at his first job, he secured a separate anesthesia management contract at another Metro Atlanta hospital. A group of independent contractor anesthesiologists were rallied together and took responsibility for turning around a failing surgical department. Dr. Huey led this department with great success until the hosptial closed due to challenging urban payer demographics and rising costs of operations.
Concordia Anesthesiology was then reconstitued with a renewed focus on developing and promoting physician leaders. Additionally, he established that a never ending push to improve quality outcomes and the maximuzation of operating efficiencies at hospitals would be the key attributes that set Concordia apart from all other anesthesia practice management companies. Dr. Huey has continued to build a business enterprise with partners who share his ideals and philosophy.
