Uchenna Amazu
Founder, Hyacinth MSO
Uchenna Amazu founded Hyacinth MSO to solve a problem he saw up close: independent pediatric practices in underserved communities are being priced out of the future, caught between rising administrative burden and a private equity industry with little incentive to preserve physician autonomy.
The model behind Hyacinth was built during his time as a Koch Center for Family Enterprise Fellow at Washington University in St. Louis, Olin Business School. There he developed the strategic and technological framework for an MSO and utilized two operating clinics in Prince George's County, MD, as a proof-of-concept. Rather than build in theory, he built and deployed systems Hyacinth now offers directly at Rose Pediatrics Care, working alongside Dr. Chinyere Amazu, before offering it to other practices.
