Atrium Health Levine Children's Expands Access to New Emerging Models of Pediatric Care
At Atrium Health Levine Children’s, families have access to an entire network of children’s care – all committed and backed by Levine Children’s Hospital, a facility ranked in 8 specialties by U.S. News & World Report. In addition to 150 pediatricians, there are more than 150 specialists across 30+ specialties, children’s urgent cares, hospitals, emergency departments and more. And now, Levine Children’s is rolling out an exciting addition: two new, specialized types of pediatric practices.
These new pediatric primary care facilities specialize in providing a more personalized approach to primary care for children and adolescents. Atrium Health Levine Children’s Perspective Health and Wellness is a membership-based practice, and Atrium Health Levine Children’s Baxter Village Pediatrics is a subscription-based practice. Both of these practices are smaller than a traditional practice, meaning there are fewer patients per physician. Patients pay an annual membership or monthly subscription fee, which allows these practices to offer enhanced services and a more streamlined coordination of care. Having more consistent direct access creates a stronger physician-patient relationship and a unique family-based approach to care.
Atrium Health Levine Children’s Perspective Health and Wellness, a premiere, comprehensive membership-based practice opened in May of this year, and Atrium Health Levine Children’s Baxter Village Pediatrics – one of the first subscription-based practices in the region, will see patients starting November 10th. Both locations offer personalized medical care available by a simple phone call or text with same-day availability to be seen in the office. Levine Children’s Perspective Health and Wellness members will have access to a dedicated care team during office hours as well as direct access to a physician after hours without the need to go through a call center, while Baxter Village Pediatrics patients will be able to contact a physician after hours through Atrium Health’s Telehealth nurse triage services.
Levine Children’s Perspective Health and Wellness is located in Atrium Health SouthPark Medical Plaza I in the rapidly growing upscale SouthPark area. Baxter Village Pediatrics is conveniently located directly across from the picturesque community of Baxter Village in Fort Mill, SC. Both facilities are fully equipped with the latest technology, resources and expert healthcare physicians, bringing Atrium Health’s clinical excellence to two growing areas that would benefit from more personalized pediatric care options.
About Levine Children’s Perspective Health and Wellness
Levine Children’s Perspective Health and Wellness is a membership-based primary care option, also known as concierge pediatric medicine. This membership-based pediatric practice is smaller than a traditional practice, with fewer patients per physician, allowing for more personalized and streamlined care between patients and their pediatricians. The approach to care at this practice is hallmarked by non-hurried, comprehensive, family-centered care for children and adolescents. This practice is perfect for both healthy patients and those with chronic medical conditions, as members will have 24/7 access to a personal care team, trained to manage their specific needs.
“No two children have the same medical and wellness needs,” says Dr. Amanda Moran Lanier, pediatrician at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Perspective Health and Wellness. “With fewer patients per pediatrician, we have the ability to develop a more personalized care plan to cater to the unique needs of each and every child we see.”
The benefits of a customized health plan and 24/7 direct access to a physician-led care team can be priceless, especially in urgent situations where every second counts that often occur after standard office hours.
“The membership-based model improves the quality of care not only from a convenience standpoint, but also a time and cost saving standpoint,” says Dr. Diep Nguyen, pediatrician at Atrium Health Levine Children’s Perspective Health and Wellness. “This model may save families money in urgent situations, by having direct access to the care team during and after office hours, potentially helping families avoid unnecessary urgent care or costly ED visits.”

Both new locations are adhering strictly to system-wide COVID-Safe standards, such as rigorous cleaning protocols, advanced screening processes, social distancing regulations in waiting rooms and separate areas for those suspected of having COVID-19. These standards have been put in place to ensure the facilities are as safe as possible for all that need care. Those who may be experiencing symptoms of COVID-19 should call ahead before entering any Atrium Health facility and follow the instructions of health care providers on how to best seek care.
