Creating lasting, impactful change for generations to come goes beyond sick visits and check-ups. It’s neighbors staying connected, families having access to resources and care without barriers, and community partners coming together to support brighter outcomes and healthier futures for all. Complete care for our patient famlies means caring about our communities, too. Through Pediatrica Foundation Works, we are establishing programs and resources that extend beyond our exam rooms to fuel our communities through connection, access, and partnership.
Explore our programs like Hope Rises (below), CONNECT Access Centers, and other resources to come – we welcome you to our care community.
Hope Rises: Community Sponsorship Program
At Pediatrica Health Group, we believe strong, healthy communities start with supporting the kids and families who live in them. That’s why we created Hope Rises – a community sponsorship program designed to lift up local groups making a difference for youth.
Each quarter, every Pediatrica practice contributes up to $500 in funding to help grassroots and not-for-profit organizations that foster youth wellness, accessibility, inclusion, and community connection through activities like sports, recreation, education, and health initiatives.
Funding Amount: Up to $500 per practice per quarter.
