Strength in Numbers Adds up to Top-Notch Care for Children
Louisville, KY - (February 25, 2014) – In the face of a rapidly changing healthcare climate,
seven independent pediatric practices in the metro region have come together to form ONE
Pediatrics. The seven groups, All Star Pediatrics, East Louisville Pediatrics, Kaplan Barron
Pediatric Group, Pediatrics of Bullitt County, Prospect Pediatrics, South Louisville Pediatrics and
Springs Pediatrics, created a “group practice without walls” with the goal of providing the highest
quality pediatric care in the region.
The organization is dedicated to the idea that independent primary care practices, in
collaboration with their patients, are best equipped to make appropriate health care decisions.
By combining resources, ONE Pediatrics is able to acquire the latest technology at the lowest
cost and pool their time and talents for developing innovative health care solutions.
“These are seven of the premier pediatric practices in our area including the most well
respected pediatricians,” said Dr. Lawrence Jones of East Louisville Pediatrics. “We are all
fiercely independent and did not want to be owned by larger corporations. We think the model
we developed is distinctively innovative and will provide the children in our practices with the
finest care possible.”
“I don’t think that any of our patients will be able to tell that anything has changed when they
come to our office,” according to Dr. Pat Hynes of Prospect Pediatrics. “Our signs are the same,
our patients still see their same personal physicians and staff. What we hope they WILL see is
more advanced technology and more efficient scheduling which leads to shorter wait times and
a better overall patient experience. The larger structure of the group has already helped us
acquire the premier pediatric EHR (electronic health record) in the market. We are on the way
to becoming one of the first practices in the region to be nationally certified as a Patient
Centered Medical Home. Additionally, we will be partnering with the specialists and ancillary
health providers that give the best and most personal care possible.”
ONE Pediatrics is part of a layered business model that starts with control at the physician level.
Each office is unique in its operations but as part of the larger structure will be able to pool
resources to acquire the latest technology and monitor quality measures.
“We are also extremely excited to be founding members of a national management corporation,
ONE Management Services Corporation (OMSC), based in Louisville and Dallas. OMSC
provides all management services and benefits for our staff as well as the operational expertise
our practices need to provide high quality and cost effective care for our patients,” said Dr.
Lawrence Jones.

By combining independent local practices with a national management corporation, ONE
Pediatrics can provide the highest quality, personal pediatric care in a structure designed to
withstand the momentum of increased government and corporate intervention in primary care.
The group plans to continue to expand beyond the metro area and become a regional force in
pediatric care.
