What Partnership Looks Like for Pediatric Group Practices

Strong local pediatric practices are essential to long-term child health and community well-being. Every Playground partnership is guided by the belief that care is strongest when it stays rooted in trusted relationships and local leadership.

Keep What You’ve Built

Your practice maintains its identity, culture, and community connections, with support designed to preserve continuity over time.

Grow Thoughtfully

A steadier foundation supports long-term planning, succession decisions, and reinvestment in people and care, on a timeline that respects your team and your legacy.

Focus on Patient Care

With less operational friction and more dependable support, pediatricians and care teams have more time to focus on caring for patients.

How We Support Independent Pediatric Practices

By supporting pediatricians behind the scenes, Playground helps practices expand access and strengthen care in ways that make sense for their communities. This support enables more availability over time, better coordination across services, and care models that respond to the real needs families bring into the exam room.

Operational Support That Reduces Daily Burden

We take on the administrative work that pulls attention away from patients, including billing, payer contracting, HR, payroll, technology, compliance, and marketing. Support is flexible and designed around how each pediatric practice operates.

Talent and Team Support That Strengthens Care

We invest in the people behind the care, supporting the recruiting, development, and retention of pediatric providers and care teams through a people-first talent strategy that helps practices build stability and protect continuity of care.

Infrastructure for Long Term Stability

We provide the systems, expertise, and pediatric-specific infrastructure practices need to plan ahead, participate in value-based care, and manage change without disrupting care or culture.

A Word From Our Partners

They made a clear and trustworthy commitment to preserving the culture we’ve built over the past 20 years and to continuing the high standard of patient care we’ve always provided."

Taner Esensoy, MD, F.A.A.P., Founder, Rainbow Pediatrics of Fayetteville

"I chose to partner with Playground Pediatrics because I was seeking support in managing the complexities of running a practice without compromising its future. What stood out was their ability to provide HR, billing, and operational support while positioning the practice for long-term growth. The process felt daunting at first, but it was well worth it, and I couldn’t be happier with the outcome for both our team and our patients."

Helen-Louise Moore, MD, FAAP, FACP, President, Cornerstone Medical Associates
