Ernst & Young LLP (EY US) has announced the winners of its prestigious Entrepreneur Of The Year 2025 Southwest Award, honoring visionary leaders of high-growth companies driving innovation, growth, and prosperity for future generations. Among the honorees is U.S. Oral Surgery Management (USOSM) President and CEO Richard Hall.
“I have great respect for Ernst & Young. In addition to being one of the world’s largest accounting and consulting firms, it has developed a well-earned reputation for excellence across multiple industries,” said Hall. “Ernst & Young has been recognizing some of the world’s best and brightest entrepreneurs for 40 years, and I’m deeply honored to be recognized alongside them as one of this year’s Southwest regional award winners.”
The Ernst & Young Southwest region award program includes candidates from North Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Wichita, Kansas. Regional winners were selected by an independent panel of past winners, top CEOs, and business leaders. Judges evaluated candidates on long-term value creation, entrepreneurial spirit, purpose-driven commitment, and significant growth and impact.
The U.S. program includes 17 regional programs, each with its own panel of independent judges who select regional award winners every June. These winners will compete for national recognition at the Strategic Growth Forum® in November, where national finalists and award winners will be announced. The national winner will go on to represent the U.S. at the EY World Entrepreneur Of The Year™ competition.
A seasoned healthcare executive with more than 40 years of industry knowledge and leadership experience, Hall provides USOSM with visionary direction and strong strategic execution. He joined USOSM in February 2018 as employee No. 3 and has guided the company through its early growth and ongoing expansion, helping to shape USOSM’s vision and trajectory. Under his leadership, USOSM has grown to include more than 220 locations with 260+ surgeon partners in 29 states.

Prior to joining USOSM, Hall served as president and CEO of Oncology Services International, the world’s largest independent service organization specializing in radiation therapy equipment. While there, he led the company through a significant transformation and a successful sale to a prominent private equity firm.
Previously, he served as president of Alliance Oncology and senior vice president of business development, marketing, and physician recruitment for US Oncology. He has also served as COO of PatientKeeper, president of the acute care division at McKesson Corporation, and owner/chair of BrightStar Care.
