Embracing Change with Private Equity
FASMA’s Game-Changing Pivot to Private Equity
In 2018, FASMA made a bold decision: it welcomed private‑equity investors into its fold. This wasn’t just a financial tweak; it was the kind of move that turns a local clinic into a nationwide powerhouse.
The Numbers Talk

Why This Matters
The partnership opened up much more than a fresh cash injection. It gave USFAS the tools and playbook to:
- Optimize operations — streamlining everything from appointment bookings to inventory.
- Invest in tech — high‑tech diagnostics, tele‑podiatry, and user‑friendly patient portals.
- Stretch its reach — popping up in new communities while staying true to core care values.
A Tight‑Laced Focus on Care
Even with all the gears turning, USFAS keeps one foot firmly on the pedal of clinical excellence and patient satisfaction. It’s not just about growing; it’s about ensuring every step a patient takes is comfortable and supported.
