Physician

Blueberry's Mission:

Our mission is to turn every family's living room into a pediatric urgent care by combining at-home diagnostic kits with concierge-like access to pediatricians. With Blueberry, every family has affordable and immediate 24/7 access to the same (or better!) care they’d receive at an urgent care or ER. We believe every child deserves access to top-quality healthcare.

Blueberry Pediatrics is growing fast. We've proven that we can drive better health outcomes for children and families, and dramatically reduce medical costs for parents and companies. 

Delivering affordable, high-quality healthcare requires engineering ingenuity, leadership committed to prioritizing patient outcomes over short-term profits, and an exceptional product team.

We are a mission and values driven company. You can learn more about our values HERE. 🫐 💙
