FCP President and CEO Thomas Watson said in a statement that the company's patient-centered model "is designed to enable our providers to focus on delivering outstanding care and superior outcomes by absorbing the administrative burdens of operating a practice, leveraging our scale and management expertise."

Headquartered in Fort Mill, South Carolina, Family Care Partners is a privately held company that is actively purchasing primary care and urgent care practices, with the goal of creating the largest independent primary and preventative care company in the Southeast. Family Care Partners purchased the Colonial Healthcare brand in 2015, and has been rapidly expanding since.
