Wayne Pediatrics

What Wayne Pediatrics does

Wayne Pediatrics is a 501c3 nonprofit academic pediatric medical practice founded in 2020 and headquartered at 400 Mack Avenue, Suite 9, in Detroit's Midtown. It operates as the clinical practice home of Wayne State University School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics faculty physicians and delivers integrated general pediatrics alongside ten-plus subspecialty services — adolescent medicine, allergy and asthma, endocrinology, immunology, infectious diseases and prevention, HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment (via the Horizons Project), nephrology, rheumatology, child abuse and neglect, and behavioral and mental health — together with registered-dietitian nutrition counseling. A separate sub-brand, the Horizons Project (Suite 9E), provides Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Part A/D-funded HIV/STI testing, PrEP/PEP, perinatal exposure services, and mental health and case management for youth ages 13-25.

The practice runs a single physical clinic augmented by telehealth consultations delivered through the MyChart patient portal (Henry Ford Health System) and uses Zocdoc for online appointment booking. Supporting infrastructure includes a photo screener for vision disorders, a bilimeter for newborn jaundice screening, and a Welch Allyn Spot Vision Screener deployed at community events. Patient education is extended through Detroit Peds Talk, a video series distributed on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. The Children's Health Collaborative coordinates Wayne State University schools and external community partners around social determinants of health such as housing, food insecurity, education, transportation, and unemployment.

Wayne Pediatrics generates revenue primarily through standard medical billing to insurance providers, Medicaid, and direct patient payments for clinical services, supplemented by restricted grants (e.g., a $16,000 award for screening equipment, a $500 GroMoreGood grant for the community garden) and federal HRSA Ryan White funding for the Horizons Project. Inpatient care is delivered through a designated partnership with Ascension St. John Children's Hospital (established September 2021). Go-to-market is community-rooted: physician referrals, partnerships with Wayne State schools and Detroit community organizations, community events and health fairs, digital content, and direct patient scheduling via website and Zocdoc. The practice does not charge publicly listed service prices, does not offer developer-facing APIs, and operates without disclosed AI/ML capabilities.
