NASHVILLE, Tenn. , May 15, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Southern Pediatrics today announces its
successful launch and strategic partnership with Grace Pediatrics
in Tennessee. Southern Pediatrics
was founded to accelerate access to comprehensive care so all
children have the opportunity to thrive, and the initial
partnership with Grace Pediatrics signals a powerful start to
realizing this mission. Southern Pediatrics' leaders see a future
where every child and every community, no matter how limited, has
access to the highest standards of pediatric care.
"We want Southern Pediatrics to be a leader
in demonstrating how we can increase access and improve quality
while creating a mission-driven company that is deeply rooted in
the communities we serve."
"Despite the essential role pediatric providers play in our
healthcare ecosystem, we feel they are often undervalued and
underappreciated," said Neil
Herndon, Co-Founder of Southern Pediatrics. "Our goal is to
invest in them so they can invest in their patients. This
collaboration is how we can make a meaningful difference in the
lives of the children and families we serve."
Southern Pediatrics is prioritizing pediatric care. More than
40% of children in the U.S. have been diagnosed with a chronic
condition and nearly one in three face a barrier to essential care.
At the same time, half of U.S. counties do not have a pediatrician,
and more than 80% of those counties are in rural areas.
"We strongly believe that children have unique healthcare needs
and deserve a specialized and dedicated approach," said
Stephen Nash, Co-Founder of Southern
Pediatrics. "We want Southern Pediatrics to be a leader in
demonstrating how we can increase access and improve quality while
creating a mission-driven company that is deeply rooted in the
communities we serve."
As part of its launch, Southern Pediatrics is pleased to
announce its first partnership with Grace Pediatrics, a
well-respected pediatric group serving children in Middle Tennessee
with 3 locations and 14 providers. While incorporating Grace
Pediatrics into its operations from day one, Southern Pediatrics
will work to expand services in crucial areas such as mental health
and behavioral health and grow into neighboring communities
currently without access to pediatric care.
"We are excited by this partnership because Southern Pediatrics
brings not only deep operational expertise, but they also truly
believe in their mission and have an energy and passion for
improving care for kids and supporting pediatric providers," said
Dr. Mark Hughes, Founder of Grace
Pediatrics. "I am thrilled to be part of a company that is going to
revolutionize pediatric healthcare."
The company is poised for continued expansion within
Tennessee over the next year and
aims to extend its footprint to additional regions in 2025.
