History

United Surgical Partners International was founded in 1998 by Don Steen along with the primary stockholder Welsh, Carson, Anderson & Stowe.

The first USPI outpatient surgery facility was Dexeus Hospital in Barcelona, Spain. It was acquired in April 1998. The first US facilities were acquired with an acquisition in July 1998. They were in Tennessee, Missouri, and Alabama.

The first hospital joint venture followed shortly in June 1999 with Baylor Health Care System.

Business Strategy

The company has developed a three-way-joint-venture model which involves the connection of hospital partner + physician + management company. USPI enters a targeted market by acquiring or developing surgical facilities in partnership with local physicians and, wherever possible, with a local hospital or health system.
