PedsPal

More than 20 years ago, Cook Children’s Physician Network created PedsPal to help independent physicians lower their supply costs. The market in which we work has changed, and we believe it’s time to phase out PedsPal. We’ll do everything we can to help minimize any impact on your practice.

We have had remarkable success together, and we want to thank you for your loyalty.

Our vaccine discounts with Merck will end on Sept. 1, 2026. Our discounts with Sanofi and Pfizer will end on Sept. 30, 2026. You will need to choose another buying group to continue to receive discounts on your vaccine purchases. Your representatives from Sanofi, Merck and Pfizer can help you with this process.

For those of you who buy medical supplies through Henry Schein, you don’t need to take any action, and Henry Schein has committed to minimizing any impact on your current pricing.

We plan to continue operations through at least July 2027. At that time, you will receive a final report from PedsPal that includes the shared administrative fees for those of you who qualify.

We deeply appreciate you and your many years of partnership. If you have questions, we’re here to help. Please email Ryan Champlin at ryan.champlin@cookchildrens.org.
