The Vaccine Machine, the brainchild of Dr. Katie Schafer and colleagues at Bloom Pediatrics, started a journey that led them to connect with the community in lasting ways they didn’t expect.

Charting the Future: A new pediatric podcast from PCC
Pediatric care is complex enough — navigating for the future shouldn’t be a solo journey. Join host Chip Hart and learn from pediatricians, industry leaders, and policymakers who are shaping the future of pediatric care. Every episode, we explore their stories, their dreams, and the joy they find in medicine. Together, we’re charting the future of children’s healthcare.
The Independent Pediatrician is brought to you by PCC, which provides tools and services to help pediatricians remain independent and in control of their practices.
PCC itself is a fiercely independent business. As a Benefit Corporation, it puts the interests of its clients, community, and employees on an equal footing with those of its shareholders.
