WHY FSP

The Difference Between Advice and Experience

Most consultants study healthcare from the outside. We've lived it from the inside — leading hospitals, managing P&Ls, navigating board relationships, and driving operational turnarounds in the communities that need it most.

At FSP, you work directly with partners who've served as CEOs of rural and community hospitals. We don't hand you a playbook written by analysts — we bring the judgment, pattern recognition, and operational instincts that only come from doing the job ourselves.
