Til Jolly, MD, FACEP
(1960-2025)
Co-Founder and CEO
In Memoriam (1960-2025)
Dr. Til Jolly co-founded and served as the CEO of EMcentric. He passed away suddenly and unexpectedly on April 7, 2025.
Til is missed dearly and remembered by those who knew and loved him as a smart, kind, and engaging person. He cared deeply about medicine, public health and those who work in the medical field. Dr. Jolly was someone you could always count on for sage advice or a witty joke, sometimes in the same sentence.
Til was an experienced board-certified emergency physician who remained active in bedside practice. His uniquely wide-ranging experience included leadership positions in academic medicine, government, private sector growth companies, and major events. He provided senior medical leadership, operational guidance and strategic growth recommendations for government and private sector organizations. Til and his key partners actively worked with early-stage telemedicine companies, medtech and medical device companies and others as they sought US placement and growth; and other organizations seeking senior medical leadership as they grow within increasingly challenging markets.
Til spent his career not only in clinical practice as an Emergency Physician, but was also involved in several entrepreneurial endeavors. He worked actively with early-stage telemedicine companies, medtech and medical device companies and others as they seeked US placement and growth, and other organizations seeking senior medical leadership as they grew within increasingly challenging markets.
Til led with humility and grace, and the impact of his loss will be widely felt at EMcentric, and throughout the Emergency Medicine community.
