KidzCare Pediatrics has successfully expanded its healthcare network by integrating Premier Pediatrics, P.A., located in Southern Pines, North Carolina. The strategic acquisition adds another practice to KidzCare's extensive pediatric care infrastructure, which now serves 70 counties through 26 locations statewide.
Led by Dr. Jill Roberson, the Southern Pines practice will maintain its current location and operating hours while benefiting from KidzCare's robust medical platform. The integration represents a significant opportunity for patients to access broader healthcare resources without compromising the personalized care they have historically received.
The merger aligns with KidzCare's long-standing commitment to delivering accessible, comprehensive pediatric healthcare. With over two decades of service, the organization has established itself as a trusted provider dedicated to supporting children's health through inclusive and patient-centered approaches.
Dr. Ashok Jain, representing KidzCare Pediatrics, emphasized the strategic value of the integration, highlighting the extension of their nationally recognized NCQA Patient-Centered Advanced Medical Home model. This approach ensures seamless, consistent, and compassionate pediatric care across their expanding network.
The transition will enable patients to benefit from KidzCare's comprehensive service offerings, including wellness visits, immunizations, behavioral health consultations, chronic condition management, and specialized sick care. By participating in the National Health Service Corps, KidzCare maintains its commitment to ensuring that financial constraints do not prevent children from receiving necessary medical attention.
For patients of Premier Pediatrics, the integration promises continuity of care and enhanced medical resources while preserving the personal approach that has been central to their healthcare experience. The existing practice systems are currently being integrated into KidzCare's platform, designed to facilitate a smooth transition with minimal disruption to patient services.
This expansion underscores KidzCare Pediatrics' strategic growth and dedication to providing comprehensive, accessible pediatric healthcare across North Carolina. By combining resources and expertise, the organization continues to strengthen its position as a leading pediatric healthcare provider in the region.
