Sandy Fragale – CEO, Orthopedic & Sports Medicine Specialists (OSMS)

Sandy’s approach every day is helping people achieve their goals and putting them in positions to succeed. A Green Bay native, Sandy began her career at KPMG in Milwaukee and eventually moved back to the Green Bay area to work at Schenck & Associates. In 2001, Sandy made the move to OSMS.

Under her leadership, OSMS has grown from 16 employees and five physicians with one clinic in Green Bay, WI, to over 340 team members and 37 physicians and clinics in Green Bay, Neenah, Oshkosh, and Marinette. Sandy credits her success to the belief that the culture in any organization is what will make it successful. She believes that helping foster a positive culture at OSMS is the single most important thing she does.

Sandy also believes in giving back. She’s been part of numerous boards and organizations including the YWCA, The Arthritis Foundation, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. For nearly 12 years, Sandy has volunteered with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Green Bay. In that time, Sandy and her husband Scott have been a big couple for two “littles.” She says spending time with Miguel, her current “little,” is the favorite part of her week.
