Goodside Health, formerly known as Urgent Care for Kids, operates as a healthcare provider focused on delivering pediatric services directly within school settings. The company was founded in 2011 by Brian White, who recognized the challenges parents faced in accessing timely medical care for their children without disrupting school and work schedules. His experience as a father directly informed the initial model of a standalone pediatric urgent care clinic, which has since evolved. The strategic shift to an in-school healthcare model was spearheaded by CEO Tracy Spinner. Goodside Health partners with school districts to establish on-campus clinics and telehealth solutions, aiming to address student health needs without them having to leave the school premises.
The company's business model is centered on partnerships with school districts across Texas, Florida, and New Mexico. It provides a comprehensive suite of services including on-demand telehealth visits, in-school medical care for common illnesses and injuries, and preventative services. A key component of their offering is the SchoolMed program, which equips school nurses with diagnostic tools and facilitates virtual connections with Goodside Health's pediatric providers. This service is designed to improve healthcare access, reduce student absenteeism, and alleviate the burden on parents. Revenue is likely generated through a combination of contracts with school districts and billing public and private insurance plans for the medical services rendered.
The service portfolio is designed for the K-12 school environment, serving students, parents, and school staff. By embedding healthcare directly into the educational setting, Goodside Health addresses common barriers such as transportation and parental time off work. The model leverages technology to connect school nurses with a network of pediatric specialists, enabling immediate diagnosis and treatment plans for conditions like strep throat, flu, and minor injuries. This integrated approach ensures that students receive prompt medical attention, which supports their overall well-being and academic performance.
