FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 5, 2026 - Evansville, IN - Orthopaedic Associates (OA) is pleased to announce that The Hand Center of Evansville has officially joined OA. This partnership brings together two trusted local practices with a shared dedication to providing exceptional musculoskeletal care to the region.
As part of this transition, OA welcomes John P. Morgan, MD, to its team. Dr. Morgan is a board-certified, fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon with a Certificate of Added Qualifications in Surgery of the Hand. His expertise strengthens OA’s hand and upper extremity services and expands patient access to advanced care for hand and wrist conditions. He will practice alongside OA’s current hand and wrist surgeons, Dr. Aaron Mull and Dr. Kaitlyn Stevens. Dr. Stevens joined the practice in December 2025.
Dr. Morgan will continue seeing patients at his current location at 1150 Lincoln Avenue in Evansville, which will remain focused exclusively on hand and wrist care. Patients can expect the same high-quality care they have always received, now supported by the resources and collaborative approach of OA.
As the practice continues to grow, Dr. Mull and Dr. Stevens will also begin seeing patients at the Lincoln Avenue location, in addition to the Orthopaedic Associates offices where they currently practice. Their presence will further expand access to specialized care while preserving the location’s dedicated focus on hand and wrist conditions.
“Dr. Morgan is known as an exceptional orthopaedic surgeon who focuses his practice on hand and microvascular injuries,” said Jerry Blanton, CEO of Orthopaedic Associates. “His addition to our team brings valuable expertise and enhances our ability to provide comprehensive musculoskeletal care across the region.”
This integration further demonstrates Orthopaedic Associates’ ongoing commitment to providing expert hand and wrist care while combining the strengths of both practices to better serve the community.
