Collaboration establishes an integrated pediatric primary care and behavioral health presence in the state of Georgia
ATLANTA, Sept. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- US Pediatric Partners ("USPP"), a physician-led pediatric healthcare network dedicated to advancing integrated, value-based care, announced its expansion into Georgia through partnerships with pediatric primary care group Bright Pediatrics and behavioral health entity Georgia Health Partners. Together, the organizations establish USPP's unified pediatric primary care and behavioral health presence in the state, creating a strong foundation for coordinated, whole-child care and continued growth across Georgia.
Bright Pediatrics serves families in Northwest Georgia through two locations in Dalton and Fort Oglethorpe. The practice has built a strong reputation for compassionate, high-quality pediatric care throughout the Dalton and greater Chattanooga region, offering preventive care, wellness exams, sick visits, immunizations, lactation consultations, an allergy clinic, and additional specialty services. Dr. Kyle Guyton will work closely with the existing Bright Pediatrics team and medical leadership as part of USPP's physician-led approach to supporting the practice and its continued growth.
Georgia Health Partners, headquartered in Tucker, has provided community-based behavioral health services to children, adolescents, and families since 2008. Through locations in Tucker, Decatur, and Savannah, the organization offers intensive family intervention, community support and behavioral assistance, individual and family counseling, psychosocial rehabilitation, peer support, crisis intervention, and case management.
Dan Murphy, CEO of US Pediatric Partners, commented, "Our partnerships with Bright Pediatrics and Georgia Health Partners mark an important milestone for USPP and our vision for Georgia. Both organizations have earned the trust of the families and communities they serve. By bringing together a respected pediatric practice and an established behavioral health organization, we have an opportunity to strengthen access, improve coordination, and build a more connected model of care for children across the state."
The partnerships create an initial footprint spanning Northwest Georgia, the Atlanta metropolitan area, and Savannah. By combining Bright Pediatrics' strong primary care foundation with Georgia Health Partners' behavioral health expertise, USPP plans to develop a more integrated approach that addresses children's physical, emotional, and behavioral health needs while reducing fragmentation between services.
"This partnership creates an exciting opportunity to build on the strong foundation already established in Georgia while expanding the resources and support available to pediatric patients, families, and care teams," said Dr. Kyle Guyton. "By bringing primary care and behavioral health closer together, we can strengthen coordination and expand access to high-quality, whole-child care for families across the state."
Bright Pediatrics and Georgia Health Partners will continue operating under their established names and service models. No changes to their current locations, services, schedules, or patient care teams are planned as part of the partnerships, allowing families to continue receiving care from the providers they know and trust.
The partnerships are now underway, with the organizations focused on integration and strengthening support systems for patients, families, and staff. With its entry into Georgia, USPP now operates more than 80 locations across New Jersey, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, further advancing its physician-led platform for coordinated pediatric and behavioral healthcare.
