Goldsboro Pediatrics is a private independent practice in rural Wayne County, North Carolina. Fifteen pediatricians, eight nurse practitioners, two lactation consultants, a child psychologist and a mental health clinical social worker currently serve approximately 35,000 active patients within four offices and seven school-based clinics throughout the county. The population served is diverse with approximately two-thirds of patients participating in the state Medicaid program. Patients come from Wayne County and the six surrounding counties through an open-door policy where no one is turned away. As a key component of the practice’s success, pediatricians engage in open communication with community partners to promote seamless systems of support for families.
