Partnership aims to enhance access to pediatric behavioral health across Maryland and the Mid-Atlantic region
BALTIMORE, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- US Pediatric Partners ("USPP"), a pediatric healthcare provider dedicated to serving underserved communities, earlier this year partnered with BTST Services, a Maryland-based behavioral health organization, to expand access to integrated care for children and families across the Mid-Atlantic.
BTST Services, which joined the USPP platform as part of a shared commitment to holistic, outcomes-driven care, has long been recognized for its leadership in delivering community-based behavioral health services across Maryland. With this partnership, USPP continues to build a scalable, integrated pediatric care model that brings together physical and mental health services in a coordinated, accessible way.
"Primary care providers across our network have consistently expressed a growing need for quality behavioral health support for their patients," said Dan Murphy, CEO of US Pediatric Partners. "BTST brings an impressive legacy of compassionate care and clinical excellence, and we are thrilled to welcome them into the USPP family. Together, we are building a more complete care model that reflects the whole-child needs of our communities."
Founded in Maryland and backed by Webster Equity Partners since 2023, BTST offers a full continuum of behavioral health services, including outpatient mental health care, targeted case management, and intensive home- and community-based services. Since becoming part of the USPP platform, BTST has continued to deliver these vital services while collaborating to enhance care coordination and integration. With a strong presence in school-based programs across the state, the organization is recognized for its commitment to innovation, accessibility, and outcomes-focused care—values that strongly align with USPP's mission.
"This partnership allows us to expand our impact, integrate care more effectively, and reach even more families in need," said Chris Simon, CEO of BTST Services. "We're proud to join forces with USPP to lead the way in developing a new standard for pediatric behavioral health."
BTST's Chief Operating Officer, Jada McCray, added, "We've always believed that true wellness comes from addressing both physical and mental health in tandem. By collaborating with USPP, we're creating a more effective, collaborative model that meets the needs of patients, families, and providers alike."
With integration well underway, USPP now operates more than 55 locations across New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, and South Carolina, and continues to expand its reach through thoughtful partnerships that enhance access, experience, and outcomes for pediatric patients.
