Pediatrica Health Group Acquires Pinnacles Peds Care

Plans to Triple Pinnacles’ Practice Space Will Make Room for Additional Providers and Will Increase Access to Care

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 Pinnacles Peds Care, owned and operated by Dr. Vincent G. Verdeflor. This acquisition expands Pediatrica’s reach in the region, offering families in a community with limited options for pediatric primary care, greater access to providers and improved care options through Pediatrica’s Next Generation Care^SM model.

Ready to Grow…

Dr. Verdeflor has built a thriving practice in his Palm Coast location with a small, but very strong team. Understanding the needs of the community, he had always hoped to expand the practice and bring in more providers to support local families with the same evidence-based, quality care his patient families have come to know and trust. Like many pediatricians, realizing that goal got further away as he prioritized patient care and tried to balance the overwhelming administrative workload of maintaining the practice.

“…making room for more providers to offer the full range of care and family health education I had always hoped for.”

Connecting with Roberto Palenzuela, Pediatrica’s founder and CEO, for the first time was when Dr. Verdeflor recognized that his vision of improved and accessible care was a real possibility. “In the short time since we closed on the acquisition, we’ve already realized incredible gains as a practice. Upgrades to technology and practice infrastructure, staff training, and access to a full back-office team to support administrative work,” commented Verdeflor. “With an eye towards lifting up the community we operate in, plans are already underway for an office expansion that will almost triple our physical space, making room for more providers to offer the full range of care and family health education I had always hoped for,” he continued.

Accessible care for the win…

Like all Pediatrica practices, the Palm Coast location accepts many insurance plans, including Medicaid. “Removing the barriers to access health care for our kids and reduce worry for parents means families have more time and financial resources to allocate where they need it most,” noted Roberto Palenzuela. Pediatrica is committed to building healthier communities together with providers and their teams; moving into Palm Coast is another step in making good on that promise.
