Dr. Pedram Salimpour and Dr. Pejman Salimpour, NexCare’s co-founders in the NexCare Collaborative Call Center

Our advisory board is composed of numerous collaborators and partners from such acknowledged national and regional organizations as the National Institutes of Health (NIH), National Library of Medicine, the UCLA School of Public Health, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services and the Los Angeles County Medical Association.

NexCare Collaborative’s most recent success was a three-year project undertaken via a grant from the First 5 LA organization to create an interactive communications program to provide resources for parents with young children in Southern California. The result was a highly-lauded, extremely successful, professional call center/Web site program entitled First 5 LA Connect that linked parents to more than 17,000 agencies throughout Los Angeles County, served more than 100,000 Southern California children and assisted in the enrollment of more than 18,000 children into health insurance programs.

We have been additionally involved in a variety of projects with national governmental organizations (including the National Library of Medicine, in the creation of the MedlinePlus®“Go Local” program), as well as with hospitals, insurers, foundations, health maintenance organizations, physician groups and other providers throughout California.

NexCare Collaborative was co-founded by its President and CEO, Dr. Pejman Salimpour and its Senior Vice President, Dr. Pedram Salimpour. Dr. Pejman Salimpour formerly served as the Clinical Chief of Pediatrics at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and is an Associate Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at the UCLA School of Medicine. Dr. Pedram Salimpour is the only person ever to have twice received the American College of Physicians’ Research Award and is an Alpha Omega Alpha national research scholar. He is currently a practicing pediatrician and serves on a number of sub-specialty medical boards.
