Healthy Steps Pediatrics

What Healthy Steps Pediatrics does

Healthy Steps Pediatrics is a single-site pediatric medical practice headquartered at 750 W. Lincoln Highway in Exton, Pennsylvania, serving families in Chester County from newborn through adolescence. The practice is staffed by three board-certified pediatricians (Jessy John, Christopher Meyer, and Constantine Serkes, all Fellows of the American Academy of Pediatrics with 25-35 years of combined local tenure) and two pediatric nurse practitioners (Sarah Wood, who joined in March 2024, and Monica Perme, since November 2020). Clinical scope covers well-child visits, sick visits, urgent care, vaccinations including COVID-19 and seasonal flu, ADHD management, and behavioral health consultations for depression and anxiety. Extended hours (over 12 hours daily, six days a week), a by-appointment urgent care window from 8-9AM weekdays, and a direct after-hours on-call line via cell phone distinguish the practice from conventional 9-to-5 pediatric offices.

The underlying technology stack is composed of off-the-shelf healthcare SaaS rather than proprietary platforms: HIPAA-compliant Zoom is used for telemedicine visits on eligible visit types, the MyPennMedicine portal provides parents proxy access for messaging, refills, referrals, and immunization records, and InstaMed was integrated in December 2024 for online bill payment. The Wix-hosted website, a Facebook page, and a blog constitute the digital marketing and patient-communication footprint. No native mobile applications, APIs, or AI-driven features are documented.

Healthy Steps generates revenue through standard pediatric fee-for-service billing to commercial insurance and Medicaid for in-person visits, telemedicine consultations, vaccinations, and urgent care. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The practice was an independent LLC owned by Dr. Ana Moros-Hanley until it was acquired by Miami-based Pediatrica Health Group in July 2025, becoming part of a multi-state pediatric platform with stated emphasis on Medicaid-eligible families, modern technologies, and evidence-based practice.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CHOP Care Network (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia): Dominant regional pediatric health system with an extensive primary and specialty care network throughout the Philadelphia suburbs including Chester County; Healthy Steps explicitly positions against this kind of institution-driven care.
• Nemours Children's Health: Major pediatric health system operating children's hospitals and pediatric specialty/primary care networks across Delaware, Florida, and Pennsylvania; competes for the same insured and Medicaid pediatric population in overlapping geographies.
• Penn Medicine (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia-adjacent regional system): Regional academic health system whose patient portal (MyPennMedicine) Healthy Steps already integrates with; represents the broader institutional competitor with deeper capital and broader pediatric specialty coverage in Chester County.
• Jefferson Health (Einstein Pediatrics): Large Philadelphia-area health system whose Einstein campus was the pediatric residency site for one of Healthy Steps' founding physicians; offers broad pediatric ambulatory and specialty services across the same metropolitan catchment.

Direct peers

• Advocare: Large, multi-specialty independent physician group across New Jersey and Pennsylvania with significant pediatric primary care presence; closely comparable as an independently operated, multi-provider pediatric practice model in the same regional market.
• PM Pediatrics: National pediatric urgent care chain offering walk-in after-hours and weekend care; directly competes with Healthy Steps' appointment-based urgent-care and after-hours on-call service lines on access-based positioning.
• Pediatrica Health Group: Miami-based parent of Healthy Steps Pediatrics and operator of a multi-site pediatric platform serving Medicaid-eligible families with modern technology and evidence-based practices; directly comparable as both the acquirer and the most proximate same-category business model.
• Pediatric Associates: Large multi-site pediatric primary care group in Florida and beyond; highly comparable as a scaled, physician-led pediatric practice group now expanding via Pediatrica-like platform plays into Medicaid populations.

Regional players

• Main Line Health: Regional health system serving Philadelphia's western suburbs including parts of Chester County with pediatric primary care and specialty services; competes for the same suburban family demographic on the Pennsylvania side.
• Virtua Health: New Jersey-based regional health system with pediatric primary care and urgent care across South Jersey suburbs; comparable as a community-anchored pediatric provider competing for similar suburban families near the PA/NJ border.
