MTS Acquires Avarion, Forging a Full-Spectrum Health IT Powerhouse

VALENCIA, Calif. – May 06, 2026 – In a significant move set to reshape the healthcare technology services landscape, Med Tech Solutions (MTS) today announced its acquisition of Avarion, a distinguished healthcare IT advisory firm. The deal unites MTS's robust managed services with Avarion's high-level strategic consulting, creating a comprehensive, end-to-end partner for healthcare organizations navigating an increasingly complex digital frontier.

This acquisition strategically positions the combined entity to support the full continuum of care, from ambulatory clinics and community health centers to large, complex hospital systems. By merging operational execution with strategic guidance, MTS aims to provide a unified solution for providers grappling with intense regulatory pressures, persistent workforce shortages, and the relentless pace of technological change.

"Healthcare organizations are looking for trusted partners who can support them across the entire care continuum—not just at a point in time, but over the long term," said Mona Abutaleb, Chief Executive Officer of Med Tech Solutions. "The addition of Avarion strengthens MTS' ability to serve providers across ambulatory and acute care environments by pairing strategic guidance with comprehensive, hands-on managed services."

A Strategic Union for an Evolving Landscape

The merger combines two complementary powerhouses. MTS, founded in 2006, has built a strong reputation for its end-to-end managed services, including electronic health record (EHR) system management, cybersecurity and compliance, and HITRUST-certified cloud hosting. Avarion, formerly Huntzinger Management Group and a two-time Best in KLAS award winner for HIT Advisory, brings deep expertise in data-driven strategy, large-scale implementation support, and executive leadership services.

This combination directly addresses a growing demand in the healthcare industry for a single partner that can offer both the 'what' and the 'how'—strategic vision coupled with the technical capabilities to implement it. The new structure allows MTS to move beyond being a service provider to becoming a long-term strategic partner, guiding clients from initial strategy to sustained operational excellence.

Leading this new division will be Robert Kitts, former CEO and Founding Partner of Avarion, who will report to Abutaleb and head MTS's strategic advisory and staffing services. This move ensures the continuity of Avarion's leadership and deepens the integration of its advisory culture within MTS.

"Joining Med Tech Solutions represents a natural evolution for Avarion and a powerful opportunity for our clients," said Kitts. "Together, we can support healthcare organizations with both strategic leadership and operational execution, pairing advisory expertise with the scale and continuity of a managed services provider. This combination strengthens our collective ability to deliver meaningful, lasting value across the healthcare landscape."

Tapping into a Multi-Billion Dollar Market

The acquisition is strategically timed to capitalize on explosive growth within the healthcare IT sector. The global healthcare IT services market was valued at over $72 billion in 2025 and is projected to surge to nearly $213 billion by 2035, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.42%. This growth is driven by the industry's aggressive push toward digital transformation.

Healthcare providers are increasingly investing in cloud platforms, artificial intelligence, and advanced data analytics to improve clinical outcomes, streamline operations, and enhance the patient experience. However, this technological adoption brings challenges. The complexity of integrating new systems, ensuring interoperability, and defending against sophisticated cybersecurity threats has stretched internal IT departments to their limits. Consequently, the demand for managed services and expert consulting has never been higher as organizations seek to offload IT burdens and focus on their core mission of patient care.

By creating a single-source solution, MTS is well-positioned to capture a significant share of this expanding market. The firm can now offer a seamless experience, guiding a hospital system through a digital transformation strategy and then providing the ongoing managed services to support it, a value proposition few competitors can match.

Combining Award-Winning Expertise

The credibility of the newly formed entity is bolstered by the distinguished reputations of both companies. MTS is a three-time recipient of the prestigious "Best in KLAS" award for Partial IT Outsourcing. The 'Best in KLAS' designation is highly coveted in the industry, as it is based entirely on direct, verified feedback from thousands of healthcare professionals, reflecting real-world performance and client satisfaction. MTS's HITRUST certification further underscores its commitment to the highest standards of data protection and security.

Avarion brings its own accolades, having been named a "Best in KLAS HIT Advisory firm" twice. This recognition highlights its excellence in providing strategic guidance that helps hospitals and health systems align technology with clinical and financial goals. The fusion of MTS's operational excellence with Avarion's proven advisory capabilities creates a combined portfolio of services backed by independent, client-validated performance.

This shared culture of excellence and client-centric service was a key driver of the acquisition. "Both organizations share a strong service culture and a commitment to helping clients operate effectively, so they can stay focused on patient care," Abutaleb noted in the announcement.

Integration and the Path Forward

With the acquisition finalized, the focus now shifts to integration. The successful merging of two distinct company cultures—one rooted in managed services and the other in strategic consulting—will be critical to realizing the full potential of the deal. The clear leadership structure, with Robert Kitts at the helm of the advisory arm, provides a strong foundation for a smooth transition.

The immediate synergy lies in the ability to cross-sell services to an expanded client base. MTS can now introduce high-level strategic planning to its existing managed services clients, while Avarion's former clients gain access to a robust suite of scalable IT infrastructure, cybersecurity, and application support services.

This move by Med Tech Solutions is more than just an acquisition; it is a strategic redefinition of its role in the healthcare ecosystem. By creating a comprehensive service offering that spans from the data center to the boardroom, the company is making a bold statement about the future of healthcare IT, where integrated, full-spectrum partnerships are no longer a luxury but a necessity for survival and growth.
