“Nicklaus Children's is excited to join the Baptist Health Quality Network,” said Krista Gerdon, vice president of population health and payer strategy at Nicklaus Children's Health System. “Our mission is to inspire hope in our communities, and through this collaborative approach our physicians will gain support from a network of experts allowing all participants to expand our collective ability to give families access to more high-quality care. It’s another way, Nicklaus Children's is focused on being the place where your child matters most.”
