Pediatrica Health Group Acquires the Rainbow Pediatric Center Group of Practices and Sets a Course for Change
Miami & Jacksonville, FL, March 4, 2025 (BUSINESS WIRE) – Miami-based Pediatrica Health Group, a multi-site, pediatric primary care organization dedicated to providing equitable access to innovative care for kids, today announced the completed acquisition of the Rainbow Pediatric Center group of practices owned and operated by Dr. Prasanthi Reddy. Through this acquisition of 4 locations, 15 providers, and a patient panel of approximately 12,000 kids, Pediatrica will put in motion plans to create a Next Generation CareSM experience for patient families, a concept that resonates deeply with Dr. Reddy’s vision for the future of pediatric primary care.
Next Generation Care for the Next GenerationSM
In recent years, value-based care has been the standard to aspire to for most practitioners – the idea that providers are working collaboratively to manage the patient’s overall health. Next Generation CareSM, founded on this concept, goes above and beyond, putting the patient at the center of a care community tailored to meet their individual wellness needs from a whole health perspective. This community sets children up for success as healthy adults, moving beyond the basics of well visits and flu shots. Next Generation CareSM brings together resources to offer education to families to help establish healthy habits and support managing chronic illnesses at home and in schools; it provides regular preventative screenings based on developmental milestones and familial and genetic history; it integrates compassionate behavioral health care proven to impact physical wellness, and it includes a team that keeps its finger on the pulse of clinical research to support leading-edge care options. All this and more made accessible to every child regardless of socioeconomic limitations. Next Generation CareSM is set to make big changes in the pediatric primary care landscape.
“Starting early means we are creating healthier futures for every child…”
“When I first met with Pediatrica’s CEO, Roberto Palenzuela, I knew we had to collaborate. His vision for Pediatrica mirrored every value and goal I had spent the last 20 years building my practices around, only amplified – accessible, evidence-based care that puts patients first,” commented Dr. Reddy. “Starting early means we are creating healthier futures for every child and ultimately setting the stage for a generation of healthier adults.”
Giving Pediatric Primary Care Providers the Power to Create Change
A better patient experience is only possible if providers have the capacity to create real change. So many primary care providers are overwhelmed with maintaining the necessary day-to-day operations of their practice that they have little time or resources left to realize what an enhanced care practice concept like Next Generation CareSM could offer their patients. This is what makes aligning with Pediatrica such a game changer. “Decades of experience in health care reshaping organizations into high-performing teams that put patient care first has taught me that this also means putting providers first,” noted Palenzuela. “Removing the hurdles of administrative burdens and onboarding the right talent for the right role creates an environment where providers can focus on what they are most passionate about – patient care. Not only is it a win-win scenario for the patients and providers, it’s the right thing to do,” he concluded.
