NEW YORK, July 11, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Hello Pediatrics, a leading provider of comprehensive, after-hours telehealth services led by a team of board-certified pediatricians has completed a series B round of funding.

She stated, "I am thrilled to be on the board of Hello Pediatrics and contribute to their mission of providing comprehensive and accessible healthcare services to children. By integrating behavioral health services into their platform, Hello Pediatrics is taking a significant step towards addressing the holistic needs of young patients and their families. This innovative approach will undoubtedly improve the overall well-being of children and enhance the delivery of pediatric care."

Furthermore, Dr. Chung spotlighted the importance of Hello Pediatrics' collaboration with primary care pediatricians and family physicians, emphasizing the company's commitment to fostering strong relationships within the healthcare ecosystem. "Hello Pediatrics recognizes the crucial role that the medical home plays in a child's healthcare journey. By working closely with the child's primary care provider, Hello Pediatrics ensures continuity of care and reinforces the trust between families and their pediatricians. I am honored to be part of a company that values this partnership and seeks to enhance the healthcare experience for all involved."

As Mr. Portsmore highlighted, "having been in the healthcare space for decades and seeing what Hello Pediatrics provides from a health plan and payor lens, the company not only brings immense value to children, their families and care teams, but addresses the total cost of care by providing timely access and appropriate level of care through its virtual model." 

The CEO of Hello Pediatrics, Lucy Janoyan, in conjunction with the completion of the series B funding round, conveyed a bullish outlook for the company and its industry, "we are incredibly grateful for the support and confidence shown by Sequoia Health Strategies, Dialectic Capital, and our esteemed investors. This funding will enable us to advance our mission of transforming pediatric healthcare through innovative telehealth solutions. By expanding into new states, we aim to reach more families in need of accessible and high-quality care for their children."

"We understand the importance of leveraging technology to improve healthcare delivery. Our investment in technological advancements will allow us to streamline our platform, enhance communication channels, and optimize the overall user experience for both families and pediatricians.
