The round was led by Mednax, Inc. NYSE: MD, whose Chief Development Officer, Dr. Jim Swift, also has been added to Brave Care's Board of Directors. We created Brave Care from the experience that every parent needs a trusted partner in their child's medical team Brave Care, a Y Combinator graduate, has been committed to pediatric clinical care advancement since 2018, utilizing their modern technology and powerful data platform to create timely care for both pediatric patients and parents. Over 21 million single parents a year face the worry of a sick child with little to no pediatric medical care options outside of the emergency room, often 10 times the cost of visiting a Brave Care clinic. Brave Care clinics are open 12 hours a day, with remote care available 24/7 through their nurse line and Brave Care Parent Mobile App, helping busy parents find relief for their children around the clock. With 37% of U.S. children ages 17 and under suffering from at least one health condition, and one in four kids seen at an urgent care in 2019, Brave Care has built the best pediatric care platform for both urgent care and regular visits, improving a child's health without harming their family's financial health. "With this exciting investment, Brave Care is now even better positioned to open more pediatric facilities around the country, elevating care experiences and dramatically increasing the chance that every kid reaches their full potential," said Darius Monsef "We're excited to move forward with our partnership with Brave Care," said Mark S. Ordan, Chief Executive Officer of Mednax. "I was thrilled when I visited Brave Care clinics this past summer.
