This partnership marks a pivotal moment for Little Spurs, positioning the company for accelerated expansion and enhanced services for young patients and their families. With 12 existing clinics across Texas, Little Spurs has become a trusted name in pediatric urgent care, offering a convenient and affordable alternative to emergency rooms for children facing acute illnesses and injuries.
“Our initial meeting with Great Point Partners in 2014 left a lasting impression due to their profound understanding of our market and extensive healthcare expertise,” stated Dr. Thomas Spurgat, CEO and Founder of Little Spurs. “Great Point’s unique insights into the pediatric urgent care landscape, coupled with their proven track record in developing successful healthcare service businesses, made them the ideal partner for Little Spurs.” Dr. Spurgat further emphasized the strategic advantage of this collaboration, “With the support of the Great Point team, we are now better equipped to realize our vision of extending our essential services to a broader patient base, all while upholding the highest standards of care for our patients and their families.”

Our collaboration is designed to enable the Company to broaden its reach, offering accessible and cost-effective urgent care solutions to an increasing number of children.” This investment underscores the growing recognition of pediatric urgent care as a vital component of the healthcare system, providing specialized and timely care tailored to the unique needs of children.
Bret Tenenhaus, Vice President at Great Point Partners, highlighted the broader industry trends driving this investment, “In the context of the evolving U.S. healthcare system, which increasingly prioritizes timely access, superior quality, and cost efficiency, the pediatric urgent care sector presents a compelling value proposition, particularly for families seeking the best care for their children.” Little Spurs Pediatric Urgent Care is strategically positioned to meet these demands, offering a patient-centered approach that resonates with parents and caregivers.
