Imagine Pediatrics, a leading pediatric medical group known for its innovative care solutions, has successfully raised $67 million in a Series B funding round. The primary goal of this funding is to enhance access to value-based care for children with special health care needs across the nation. This milestone was achieved with continued support from notable investors such as Oak HC/FT, Optum Ventures, and Rubicon Founders, along with new investments from the Autism Impact Fund and other strategic partners.
Founded in 2022, Imagine Pediatrics has rapidly grown to provide care for approximately 40,000 children nationwide. Its integrated medical, behavioral, and social care model is specifically tailored for addressing the diverse health needs of children with special health conditions. With this latest influx of capital, Imagine Pediatrics plans to expand its national presence, upgrade its proprietary technology platform, and foster clinical innovations aimed at bridging care gaps and broadening access to specialized pediatric care.
In the United States, nearly 20% of children have special health care needs, contributing to almost half of all pediatric healthcare expenditures covered by Medicaid and commercial insurance. These children frequently encounter a variety of challenges, including chronic medical conditions, mental health issues, and unmet social needs. Imagine Pediatrics recognizes these hurdles and aims to provide unlimited access to multidisciplinary care teams that collaborate with existing healthcare providers, offering comprehensive services including pharmacy, nutrition, palliative care, and essential social support.
The organization has made impressive strides since its inception, boasting nearly 300,000 patient encounters over the past two years. Its efforts have led to a significant reduction in unnecessary emergency room visits and hospital admissions, resulting in savings of more than $65 million for its health plan partners as recently as 2024. Families have responded positively, giving Imagine Pediatrics a stellar Net Promoter Score of over 86, indicating high levels of satisfaction with the care provided.
George Boghos, CEO of Imagine Pediatrics, commented on the recent funding, stating, "This investment reinforces our capacity to scale proven, innovative care models that enhance accessibility, improve patient outcomes, and reduce costs for children with special health needs and their families." He expressed pride in partnering with investors who align with the organization’s vision of creating a more accessible and inclusive pediatric care ecosystem.
Chris Male, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of the Autism Impact Fund, shared enthusiasm for the partnership, emphasizing the Fund's alignment with Imagine Pediatrics' mission to revolutionize pediatric healthcare. "As the investment and innovation arm of the autism community, we are thrilled to support Imagine Pediatrics in their endeavor to transform pediatric health care," Male noted. “We look forward to contributing to their ongoing growth as they expand their reach and impact in underserved groups.”
