Pediatrica Health Group Partners with M33 Growth to Bring Groundbreaking Changes to Pediatric Primary Care
Miami, FL and Boston, MA February 4, 2025 (BUSINESS WIRE) – M33 Growth, a Boston-based venture and growth-stage investment firm, today announced their partnership with accomplished healthcare executive and entrepreneur Roberto L. Palenzuela to bring revolutionary change to pediatric primary care. Through this partnership, Pediatrica Health Group comes to life and realizes Palenzuela’s vision to create a Next Generation CareSM experience for families – empowering providers and health care teams to leverage modern technologies and resources to provide exemplary, tailored patient care. Pediatrica is set to optimize children’s health through a complete care experience.
“Removing barriers that overwhelm providers…”
Commenting on the announcement, Pediatrica Health Group’s founder and CEO, Roberto Palenzuela, stated, “Creating an enhanced patient and family health care experience can only happen when providers and teams have the resources and support to create impactful change for their patients. This is the cornerstone of the Pediatrica experience. Removing the barriers that overwhelm providers and support staff in an over-burdened healthcare system opens the door to unlimited potential for unified care.” Palenzuela continued, “Developing a care community where every child has equitable access to wellness resources not only heals the patient but also serves to heal a community. We believe that the foundational work Pediatrica is undertaking today will set off a ripple effect of change in pediatric health for generations to come.”
“…coordinated care that combines physical health, behavioral health, and education…also opens doors to clinical research…”
With reported primary care provider burnout sitting at a staggering 51 percent, an increase in mental health concerns in children leading to poorer physical wellness and chronic conditions, and limited access to care for marginalized communities, it is clear the time for change is now. “Creating a trusted care community is more than just well-child visits and flu shots. It’s coordinated care that combines physical health, behavioral health, and education as well as the integration of the latest research, which also opens doors to clinical research, and so much more”, noted Palenzuela. “The term, ‘it takes a village’ couldn’t be more apt and Pediatrica is building the village; partnering parents and providers and creating a framework that sets young people up for a lifetime of good health through innovation, education, and prevention,” Palenzuela continued.
Palenzuela, an attorney, is a 35-year healthcare industry veteran, with experience in shaping and growing value-based health care organizations into thriving and performing enterprises that put patient care first and enhances their experience while also prioritizing providers and their teams.
“There is a very real crisis for patients and providers in pediatric care, and we believe Roberto has created a thoughtful roadmap to building a better care delivery system. M33 recognizes the value in this partnership not only as a stakeholder but for the pediatric health care community at large,” said Gabe Ling, founder of M33 Growth. “Navigating the healthcare system is challenging at the best of times. Better access to care and strong patient advocacy is especially critical when it comes to children and their families. We believe that Pediatrica’s collaborative care delivery model will have a significant positive impact on the provision of coordinated care, with the potential to transform the pediatric care landscape for the better.” Ling concluded.
