About the company
PM Pediatrics operates a network of pediatric urgent care clinics that stay open year-round with extended hours to treat non-emergency illnesses and injuries outside regular pediatrician hours. Clinics resemble emergency departments with on-site X-ray and lab services, and they offer telemedicine and pediatric behavioral health programs. The focus is exclusively on children, using pediatric specialists and equipment to handle conditions like fractures, asthma, dehydration, and wounds, while also expanding via partnerships and acquisitions. The company's goal is to provide accessible, high-quality acute pediatric care and related services, reducing unnecessary trips to hospital emergency departments.
