PM Pediatric Care was founded in 2005 by college roommates Dr. Jeffrey Schor and Steven Katz, who pursued careers in medicine and business respectively. The company opened its first urgent care practice in New Hyde Park, New York, with the mission of providing children a reliable option for medical support outside of the traditional emergency department. Initially a single-location after-hours urgent care staffed by pediatric emergency specialists, PM Pediatric Care has grown into the nation’s largest provider of pediatric urgent care for children and young adults aged 0–26.

Today, PM Pediatric Care operates 78 locations across 15 states, offering comprehensive services including pediatric urgent care, emergency medicine, telemedicine, and behavioral health. The company has treated over 6.5 million patients since its inception, reflecting its significant role in pediatric healthcare. It primarily generates revenue through reimbursement from insurers and accepts most health plans, ensuring accessibility for families across various socioeconomic backgrounds.

In addition to its core urgent care services, PM Pediatric Care has expanded to include virtual physical and mental health services for select schools, addressing the growing need for integrated pediatric health support. The company secured $50 million in Series E financing in 2023, led by Scopia Capital with participation from Jefferson River Capital, to fuel further expansion. With a team of 501–1,000 employees and a privately held structure, PM Pediatric Care continues to lead in pediatric healthcare innovation and accessibility.

Headquartered in New Hyde Park, New York, PM Pediatric Care remains committed to its founding principle: minimizing pain and unnecessary tests while delivering high-quality, compassionate care to children in urgent care situations. The company’s growth trajectory and service diversification underscore its dedication to evolving pediatric healthcare needs and setting a benchmark for urgent care excellence nationwide.
