About the Company

PM Pediatric Care

Specializes in pediatric urgent care services

PM Pediatric Care runs a network of pediatric urgent care clinics that operate year-round with extended hours to treat non-emergency pediatric illnesses and injuries outside regular pediatrician offices. Centers function like emergency departments with on-site digital X-ray and lab services, and they offer telemedicine, pediatric behavioral health, and school-based health programs. They focus exclusively on children—using pediatric specialists and child-specific equipment—to treat issues ranging from fractures to asthma, aiming to reduce unnecessary ER visits. Their goal is to provide accessible, high-quality acute pediatric care and related services across a growing network, expanding after-hours access and coordinating with primary care and hospitals.
