We are proud to announce that as of 1/2/25 Brandywine Pediatrics will join Advocare!

Advocare is an independent, physician-owned medical organization founded by Pediatricians and dedicated to delivering exceptional healthcare. It is not a large hospital group or system but rather a group of the top Providers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and now Delaware.  

What This Means for You

  • No Ownership Change: Rest assured, we have not been bought out. Brandywine Pediatrics remains independently owned and operated by the same dedicated team you know and trust.
  • Enhanced Collaboration: By joining this organization, we will collaborate with like-minded physicians to improve access to resources, share best practices, and continue delivering exceptional care.
  • Same Trusted Care: Your experience with us—our staff, physicians, and personalized approach—will remain exactly as it has always been!

Why This Change?

Our decision to join this organization is driven by a shared commitment to provide high-quality, patient-centered care. Partnering with other physician-led practices allows us to:

  • Stay ahead of advancements in medical care
  • Ensure access to the best tools and resources 
  • Focus on what matters most—your child’s well-being!

To make the transition as simple as possible, you SHOULD contact Member Services on the back of your insurance card before any visit beginning 1/1/2025.
