Collaborative Pediatric Care Initiative

Where EVERYONE & EVERYTHING MATTERS

In a groundbreaking collaborative effort, Pedikidz of Florida, Paradigm Behavioral Health, Advantis Home Care, and Why Wait Till Friday, have joined forces to provide personalized, comprehensive pediatric care with an unwavering commitment to a mindset of intentional living, inclusivity, and gratitude, at the forefront of every action. This visionary partnership aims to redefine the landscape of pediatric healthcare by recognizing that everyone and everything matters, from the children under our care, to our caregivers, to the families and communities we serve, and to each other. This transformative approach aims to improve the lives of children, empower families, and foster mental well-being, setting a new standard for pediatric healthcare.

Core Efforts

Integrated Care

Our collaborative initiative ensures that pediatric patients have access to a seamless and cohesive care plan that addresses their medical, behavioral, and emotional needs. Intentional living and mindset practices are integrated into each care plan to promote compassion and respect for each person involved in the plan of care.

Family Support and Education

We place great emphasis on family support and empowerment, recognizing that a child’s well-being is profoundly interconnected with the support system at home. The collaboration provides resources to equip families with the knowledge and support they need to become active partners in their child’s care journey. We ensure that family members are heard, understood, supported, and appreciated.

Comprehensive Employee Well-Being

In addition to our commitment to pediatric care, a core effort of this initiative is to foster comprehensive employee well-being. We value our staff as individuals, and we prioritize their physical and emotional health. This includes access to resources for professional development, a supportive work environment, and opportunities for personal growth, reflecting the deep-seated belief in caring about our people as individuals.

Inclusive Community Building

The core facet of our community outreach is to build an inclusive and supportive community that extends well beyond the clinical setting. We believe that the well-being of children is intertwined with the health of the communities they belong to. Through educational initiatives, advocacy and support networks, and partnerships, we actively work to inspire a mindset where everyone and everything matters, and where children are supported not only by their immediate families, but by an extended network of caring individuals and organizations.
