About Us
The Pediatric Physician Alliance of Central Texas is a civic and professional organization of pediatricians and pediatric sub-specialists who have joined together in pursuit of optimal care for the children of Central Texas. By forming an alliance, area pediatricians are prepared to build consensus on issues relating to medical practice, standards of care, minimizing barriers to access of children's health care, managed care, and pediatric subspecialists. Facilitating the collegial association of pediatric physicians, the Pediatric Physician Alliance is well positioned to develop and achieve effective recommendations for change. Enhancing the delivery and quality of healthcare for children by advocating pediatric specific community resources, education, and state of the art technologies is our mission. Continued cohesive exemplary pediatric care is our unifying goal.
