After over 17 years as a hospital CEO, Jay Evans returned to San Antonio 25 years ago and began managing medical group practices. He was the executive director for two large primary care medical groups before starting his own practice management consulting company. Evans and Avante Healthcare Consulting assisted many physicians with practice start-ups, business development, clinic operations, managed care contracting, and A/R management.
In 2010, Jay began a 6 1/2-year stint as the CEO of the south Texas region for a national hospital medicine group. He was responsible for directing the overall development and operations of this medical group of over 100 providers. In late 2019 Jay assisted Deborah Lane in starting her own private psychotherapy practice. A year and a half later, Bella Vista Behavioral Health was formed in order to transition Deborah’s solo practice into a group clinical therapy practice. Jay joined the group full-time as the Administrator.
Jay is an alumnus of Trinity University’s programs in both Business Administration and Healthcare Administration.
