BraveKidz is family-owned — founded by parents of medically fragile children who lived the daily reality of complex pediatric care, and saw what was missing.
With more than 20 years of combined PPEC experience and led by our medical director, Dr. Pedro Reimon, we built the place we wished existed for our own kids.
