Zarminali Pediatrics, an outpatient pediatric provider, has raised $110 million in Series A funding to expand to more patients, the startup announced on Wednesday.
The Chicago-based company was founded in 2024 and provides primary and specialty care for children from birth through adolescence. It offers services like well-child visits and same-day sick care. It provides this care via its 28 clinics across 8 states.
Zarminali’s Series A round was led by Healthier Capital and included participation from General Catalyst and K2 HealthVentures. In total, it has raised more than $150 million.

With the financing, Zarminali will work on rolling out its technology platform, as well as open 15 new clinics, including in markets like Chicago, Milwaukee and Dallas. It will also work on expanding services beyond primary care to include urgent care and specialty services like speech, occupational and behavioral therapy. It also aims to expand into 24/7 telehealth care.
According to Amir Dan Rubin, CEO and founding managing partner of Healthier Capital and former CEO of Amazon One Medical, “Zarminali Pediatrics represents a fundamentally better way to care for children – one that is built around families, empowered clinicians, and creative uses of technology. I am proud to support the team’s mission to unify primary, specialty, and urgent care all under one umbrella with one unified technology backbone – a solution that is both innovative and intuitive.”
According to a 2025 study published in JAMA Network, the health of children in the U.S. has worsened across a range of health indicators over the last 17 years, including mortality, chronic conditions, obesity, mental health and more.
For Zarminali’s founder, the issue is personal.
The Power of One: Redefining Healthcare with an AI-Driven Unified Platform
In a landscape where complexity has long been the norm, the power of one lies not just in unification, but in intelligence and automation.
“The pediatric healthcare system in the U.S. is fragmented, leaving families to navigate disconnected providers and long wait times, while clinicians struggle with administrative burdens and burnout,” said Danish Qureshi, founder and CEO of the company, in an email. “This became personal for me when my daughter was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder, and I saw firsthand how difficult it was to find coordinated, compassionate care.”
He added that Zarminali aims to solve this problem by bringing primary, specialty and urgent care under one roof, “supported by technology that simplifies care coordination and allows clinicians to focus on delivering exceptional care.”
Other pediatric startups include virtual care company Imagine Pediatrics and mental health company Brightline. However, according to Qureshi, Zarminali is “the only national pediatric network integrating primary, specialty, and urgent care with therapy services, all supported by a unified technology platform and on a national scale.”
