Playhouse MD™ Launches on Amazon with McKesson Medical-Surgical Leading Distribution of First-Ever Playful Pediatric Devices
McKesson Medical-Surgical to Exclusively Distribute Playhouse MD™'s Character-Driven Medical Devices on Amazon to Enhance Convenience of At-Home Pediatric Care
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Playhouse MD™, the new healthcare brand dedicated to reimagining pediatric care through the power of play, is now officially available on Amazon.
Through a strategic distribution alliance with McKesson Medical-Surgical, a subsidiary of McKesson Corporation and a leading medical distributor and online seller of medical supplies and healthcare solutions, Playhouse MD™'s doctor-designed, kid-inspired medical devices are now available to millions of families across the country.
Founded by Dr. Kaitlin Wiseman, a family physician, Sydney Wiseman, an award-winning toy creator, and serial entrepreneur Michael Kamins, Playhouse MD™ launched DTC in June 2025 following two years of development alongside global design company, IDEO. Playhouse MD™ was created to make at-home care moments less stressful and more engaging by blending clinical function with playful, character-led design to help kids build positive associations with healthcare from the start.
Securing support from a leading national distributor prior to launching was a major milestone for the emerging brand. It is also the first play-based pediatric brand within McKesson Medical-Surgical's portfolio, which includes more than 300,000 products. The company delivers tailored e-commerce solutions for health, medical and wellness brands through Simply Medical, its marketplace acceleration group which focuses on the consumerization of healthcare, enabling people to play a more active role in their health and wellness.
"We started Playhouse MD™ to transform the way families experience sick days by making play a central part of care," says Michael Kamins, Co-Founder and COO of Playhouse MD™. "Our partnership with McKesson Medical-Surgical allows us to scale that mission and launching on Amazon unlocks an entirely new level of access and visibility. It enables us to reach families faster and expand our impact nationwide."
"We are always looking for innovative products to add to our portfolio. What Playhouse MD™ has created combines clinical integrity with an imaginative design and brings a fresh, meaningful approach to pediatric care," said Stanton McComb, President of McKesson Medical-Surgical. "We are excited to be the exclusive distributor of Playhouse MD™ products on Amazon, helping to advance healthcare outcomes for families across the country."
Looking ahead, Playhouse MD™, alongside McKesson Medical-Surgical, plans to expand their at-home medical device portfolio into B2B healthcare channels including pediatric offices and hospitals.
