Who we serve

Built for pediatric systems creating more connected care

Pediatric teams reach us from very different starting points. The gap they describe is usually the same one.

Children’s hospitals and pediatric health systems(01)
Referral volume climbs faster than specialty capacity, and families wait weeks between the first concern and the first appointment.
Integrated primary care and behavioral health programs(02)
Pediatricians surface concerns during routine visits, then need somewhere to send young people who are not yet in crisis.
Population health and accountable care teams(03)
Outcomes depend on follow-through, and engagement between visits is the hardest part of the pathway to see or influence.
Multi-site pediatric care networks(04)
Support looks different at every location, and leaders have no consistent way to compare access and engagement across sites.
Pediatric systems serving Medicaid populations(05)
Transportation, scheduling, and phone access break follow-up long before a young person reaches the appointment.
