The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics Named Among Region’s Largest and Most Inclusive Companies
CAO earns dual recognition from the Washington Business Journal for size and standout diversity practices
Bethesda, MD – July 15, 2025 – The Centers for Advanced Orthopaedics (CAO), one of the nation’s largest orthopaedic care providers, has been recognized by the Washington Business Journal on its prestigious 2025 “Largest Private Companies” and “Corporate Diversity Index” lists. CAO ranked No. 46 among the region’s largest private companies and earned the No. 6 spot on the Diversity Index, which honors organizations that champion workplace diversity and inclusion.
Each year, the Washington Business Journal highlights the most successful private businesses in the Greater Washington region, evaluating them based on revenue, employee growth and commitment to inclusive culture and leadership. CAO’s inclusion on both lists reflects its consistent expansion – including 43% year-over-year growth from 2023 to 2024 – its dedication to high-quality patient care and its investment in building a diverse, vibrant workforce.
“Being recognized for more than a decade as one of the region’s largest private companies, and now as a leader in corporate diversity, is a reflection of who we are and where we’re going,” said Dr. Nicholas Grosso, President of CAO. “We’re proud of the culture we’ve cultivated – one that values innovation, collaboration and a richness of ideas across every level of our organization.”
With more than 600 providers across 140 locations in the Mid-Atlantic, CAO is growing to meet patients’ evolving needs while remaining true to its roots in independent, personalized care. The organization invests significantly in culture, creating a workplace where individuals of all backgrounds are empowered and where professional development is central to recruitment and retention.
“When people with different experiences, perspectives and talents come together, it strengthens our ability to innovate, connect with patients and support one another,” said Richard Robinson, Chief Operating Officer at CAO. “This recognition affirms the work we’ve done to build an environment where everyone can contribute and thrive, so we can better serve our patients and the communities we’re part of.”
