The average pediatric practitioner sees between 10 and 30 children per day, spending on average just 10 minutes interacting with the child and their parent during a well-child visit. As part of the Pediatrics Supporting Parents (PSP) national funder collaborative, Perigee Fund, the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, Einhorn Collaborative, Overdeck Family Foundation, the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation have committed $13.25 million over five years to invest in aligning clinical practice with evidence that demonstrates the benefits of leveraging pediatric well-care to support improved social and emotional outcomes in young children and to strengthen parent–child relationships by partnering with providers and parents.
Perigee Director of Programs Elizabeth Krause co-authored a guest article for Health Affairs outlining PSP’s work to effect structural and systemic change.
