What US Pediatric Partners does

US Pediatric Partners (USPP) is a physician-led pediatric healthcare platform established by Webster Equity Partners in 2023 and headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. The company operates more than 75 offices across five states — New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida — with a network of 400+ clinicians and a stated expansion into Georgia. USPP delivers comprehensive pediatric primary care alongside integrated behavioral health services through both wholly owned sub-brands (Pediatric Affiliates in NJ, Sweetgrass Pediatrics and SouthernMED Pediatrics in SC, KidzCare in NC, Palmetto Pediatrics in FL) and acquired platforms (Aspen Pediatrics in MD, BTST Services and Hope Services for behavioral health). Its stated mission is to address fragmentation in pediatric care delivery by combining physical and mental health services for children and families in underserved communities.

The underlying operating model is an MSO-style platform: USPP acquires or partners with independent pediatric and behavioral health practices, providing administrative support, payor contracting, and value-based care infrastructure while preserving clinical autonomy and local leadership under retained brand identities. Its core technology is described as a value-based care platform that integrates pediatric primary care with behavioral health, though no proprietary technology features are disclosed. The company generates revenue through value-based care arrangements with payors, with physician founders and incumbent CEOs retained post-acquisition (e.g., Dr. Snehal Parikh in Florida, Hannah Cohen in Maryland, Sara Leonard in North Carolina, Chris Simon in Maryland) to maintain regional leadership and clinical continuity.

USPP's go-to-market is enterprise field sales directed at independent pediatric and behavioral health practices, with the company positioning itself as a partner that absorbs administrative burden in exchange for participation in a national risk-bearing pediatric network. Customer segments include children and families seeking pediatric care, independent pediatric practices seeking scale without losing autonomy, and underserved communities requiring accessible integrated care. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by payor contract. The company markets primarily through content (blog/news), email newsletters, and direct partnership outreach, with distribution occurring through the physical office footprint rather than digital channels.
