PM Pediatric Care says it acquired 10 pediatric urgent care centers from Pediatrix Medical Group, including one in Jacksonville.
The Night Lite Pediatrics at 1140 Beach Blvd. will be renamed PM Pediatric Urgent Care, the company said in a July 22 news release.
It is the third owner in two years for Night Lite. Pediatrix acquired it in 2022.
Lake Success, New York-based PM Pediatric Care said the July 1 acquisition will expand its network to nearly 90 offices across 15 states.
“This partnership will bring together two like-minded organizations, combining our strengths to better serve our patients and communities,” PM Pediatric Care CEO Kevin Trexler said in a news release. “Night Lite has a long-standing reputation for excellence and a deep-rooted commitment to patient-centered care, like our own. Together, we’ll benefit from shared knowledge, expanded resources, and a broader network of care facilities.”
PM Pediatric Care calls itself the nation’s largest provider of specialized pediatric urgent care, with its clinics open 365 days a year.
PM Pediatric Care offices are staffed by board-certified pediatric emergency physicians and pediatricians. It offers imaging, lab testing on-site, wound suturing, concussion care, IV treatment for dehydration, oxygen and nebulizer treatment and other services.
In 2023, privately-held PM Pediatric Care said it received $50 million in funding from Scopia Capital, including Jefferson River Capital. It said the money would be used to accelerate expansion of the company’s urgent care network and expand its offerings.
“PM Pediatric Care continues to be poised for significant growth. We’re proud to support the Company as it works to change how pediatric medicine is delivered in our country, making access to specialized physical and mental health care convenient and affordable,” said Matthew Sirovich, managing partner of Scopia Capital.
PM Pediatric Care was founded in 2005 by Dr. Jeffrey Schor and Steven Katz.
