KidzCare Pediatrics has expanded its pediatric healthcare network by integrating Premier Pediatrics, P.A., located in Southern Pines, North Carolina. The acquisition, led by Dr. Jill Roberson, represents a strategic move to enhance healthcare accessibility and quality for families across the state.
The integration allows patients to benefit from KidzCare's extensive network of 26 locations serving 70 counties, while maintaining the personalized care approach of the Southern Pines practice. Patients will continue to receive treatment at the existing office, with practice hours remaining consistent from Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 5:30 PM.
Dr. Ashok Jain emphasized the strategic value of the merger, highlighting the expansion of their nationally recognized NCQA Patient-Centered Advanced Medical Home model. The integration aims to provide seamless, consistent, and compassionate pediatric care to more North Carolina families.
Dr. Roberson expressed enthusiasm about joining KidzCare, noting that the merger offers patients broader resources while preserving the personalized care approach of Premier Pediatrics. The transition involves integrating practice systems to ensure continuous, high-quality patient care.
With over 20 years of experience serving North Carolina communities, KidzCare Pediatrics continues to demonstrate its commitment to accessible, affordable healthcare. The organization participates in the National Health Service Corps, ensuring that financial constraints do not prevent families from receiving essential pediatric medical services.
