Core offering

Goodside Health delivers pediatric healthcare through three channels: (1) SchoolMed, a proprietary school-based telehealth platform that connects K-12 students with remote medical providers during school hours using school nurses as on-site clinical support; (2) Urgent Care for Kids, a network of 23 pediatric urgent care clinics across Texas; and (3) Virtual Care for Families, a direct telehealth service. The platform also provides on-campus well-care (HealthyStudent Days), sports physicals, mental health screenings, and remote testing services billed through insurance and SHARS.

Product overview

Goodside Health operates a multi-product healthcare platform focused on pediatric care delivery through three interconnected channels: school-based services (SchoolMed, HealthyStudent Days, SportsPhysicals+, Mental Health, Remote Testing), clinic-based care (Urgent Care for Kids with 23 Texas locations), and virtual services (Virtual Care for Families). The core SchoolMed platform delivers telehealth directly to K-12 students at school, while HealthyStudent Days and SportsPhysicals+ extend preventive care to campuses. The subsidiary Urgent Care for Kids provides walk-in pediatric urgent care and primary care in Texas clinics, with Virtual Care for Families enabling remote consultations. The Goodside Cares program ensures access regardless of insurance status, completing a coverage model spanning school, home, and clinic settings.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Teladoc Health: Teladoc Health is the largest publicly traded telehealth platform offering general and specialty virtual care. It is a broad incumbent whose entry into pediatric or school-based segments could pressure Goodside Health's market position and pricing power.
• Amwell: Amwell is a publicly traded enterprise telehealth platform serving health systems, insurers, and employers. As a broad incumbent with national payor contracts, it represents a credible competitive threat as it expands into pediatric and school-based virtual care use cases.
• Doctor On Demand: Doctor On Demand is a large virtual care provider offering urgent care, behavioral health, and primary care via telehealth. It competes broadly with Goodside Health's Virtual Care for Families service across general consumer virtual care categories.

Others

• TytoCare: TytoCare provides telehealth-enabled remote examination devices used by schools, clinics, and families to enable physical exams during virtual visits. It is an enabling technology provider relevant to Goodside Health's remote testing and SchoolMed workflows.
• Solv Health: Solv Health is an online healthcare appointment booking and patient experience platform integrated with Goodside Health's Urgent Care for Kids clinics. It is an ecosystem partner rather than a direct competitor, enabling consumer-side booking for the retail clinic channel.

Direct peers

• PM Pediatrics: PM Pediatrics is the leading pediatric urgent care chain in the United States with multiple locations across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. It directly competes with Goodside Health's Urgent Care for Kids retail clinic business in pediatric-specific urgent care services.
• NightLight Pediatrics: NightLight Pediatrics is a Houston-area pediatric urgent care chain whose 11 clinics were acquired by Goodside Health's Urgent Care for Kids subsidiary in July 2024. As a former direct competitor now part of the company, it represents the legacy peer for the acquired Houston footprint.
• Hazel Health: Hazel Health is a direct competitor providing school-based telehealth services to K-12 students, with a virtually identical go-to-market of partnering with school districts to deliver virtual care on campus. Like Goodside Health, Hazel focuses on physical and mental health access for underserved student populations.

Emerging players

• DotCom Therapy: DotCom Therapy is a pediatric teletherapy provider that partnered with Goodside Health to address mental health resource shortages in schools. It is an adjacent emerging player in the school-based mental health segment where Goodside Health also competes.
• K Health: K Health is a direct-to-consumer virtual care platform offering AI-driven primary care and urgent care visits. It is an emerging player with overlapping D2C virtual pediatric care positioning versus Goodside Health's Virtual Care for Families brand.
