Spark Pediatrics

Headquartered in Florida with locations in Orlando, Miami, Miami Lakes, Jacksonville, and Houston, TX, the organization provides critical daily care to hundreds of children and families. Spark Pediatrics partners with major children's hospitals including Orlando Health/Arnold Palmer Hospital, UF Health, Nemours, and Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital to deliver coordinated, specialized pediatric care. In January 2025, the company secured over $15 million in investment led by UPMC Enterprises and Memorial Hermann Health System to expand access to skilled nursing services for medically complex children, signaling significant growth momentum. Nurses at Spark Pediatrics work in an outpatient PPEC medical daycare setting, providing care to pediatric patients with life-threatening conditions affecting multiple organ systems. The organization focuses on building strong partnerships with families, physicians, and referral sources to create personalized treatment plans. The role involves pediatrics, home health, and wound care specialties. Employee reviews indicate a mixed experience, with moderate ratings for work-life balance and pay but lower scores for management, culture, and job security.

Spark Pediatrics' mission is to deliver exceptional and compassionate care to pediatric patients with complex medical needs. The organization believes in building strong partnerships with patients, families, physicians, and referral sources to create personalized treatment plans. They aim to transform pediatric access to skilled nursing care, particularly for the approximately three million medically complex children in the U.S., two-thirds of whom are covered by Medicaid.
