Paschal M.D. P.A. Pediatrics \u2014 OUR FOUNDERS v2.2\r\n  Built: 2026-08-19  |  CBS Marketing & SEO  |  DGOS-CORE-001 v2.0\r\n  ============================================================================\r\n  PAGE ROLE: the practice's Black-pediatrician page and its historical\r\n  authority anchor. Site's #2 page: 5,764 impressions, 65 clicks, pos 10.32.\r\n  CLUSTER: 36 queries, 3,377 impressions, weighted position 11.16,\r\n  ZERO competitor coverage in any of the three Keyword Planner exports.\r\n\r\n  THE PROBLEM WAS NEVER RANKING - IT WAS CTR. Twenty of the 36 queries sit\r\n  in the top 12 and earn nothing:\r\n    \"black peds\"                          pos 3.05, 40 impr, 0 clicks\r\n    \"african american pediatrician\/doctor\" pos 5.10, 49 impr, 0 clicks\r\n    \"black female pediatrician\"            pos 5.31, 75 impr, 0 clicks\r\n  The searcher wants availability, not history. Hence the new\r\n  availability-first answer block and the new title\/description.\r\n  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n  META - set in Yoast. This file has NO head markup.\r\n    SEO Title  : Black Pediatrician in Miami | Accepting New Patients   (52)\r\n    Meta Desc  : Black-owned pediatric practice in Miami, North Miami Beach &\r\n                 Plantation. Black female pediatrician accepting new patients.\r\n                 Medicaid accepted. Since 1953.                        (154)\r\n    Canonical  : https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/our-founders\r\n    Robots     : max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large\r\n    WP Title   : Our Founders   (Hide Title = Yes; the H1 is in this block)\r\n  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n  v2.2 - INTERNAL LINK WEIGHTING CORRECTED\r\n  Anchor-text audit came back clean: 22 of 28 destinations already carried\r\n  exact or near-exact match to the receiving page's GSC target. The problem\r\n  was DISTRIBUTION - pages past position 25 averaged 1.6 links while pages\r\n  already inside the top 12 averaged 2.2. Link equity was going to pages\r\n  that did not need it. Rebalanced:\r\n    \/sports-physicals-near-me (pos 46.06)  1 -> 4 links\r\n    \/first-pediatric-visit\/   (pos 39.68)  2 -> 3 links\r\n    \/services                 (pos 32.63)  2 -> 3 links\r\n    \/school-physicals-near-me (pos 21.67)  1 -> 3 links\r\n  Plus one genuine anchor fix: \/insurance-accepted was \"full list of\r\n  accepted insurance plans\", which missed the carrier names that page\r\n  actually gets queries for - \"pediatrician that accepts aetna near me\"\r\n  (119 impr), the Cigna variants (~360 across five phrasings), Blue Cross\r\n  (138). Anchor is now \"pediatricians near me that accept Aetna, Cigna and\r\n  Blue Cross\" in all three places.\r\n  NOTE: internal links move a page a few positions, not forty.\r\n  \/sports-physicals-near-me at 46 needs its own rebuild; this is free\r\n  reinforcement, not the fix.\r\n\r\n  CHANGES FROM THE PREVIOUS BUILD\r\n  1. HEAD MARKUP REMOVED. The old file was a complete HTML document with\r\n     <!DOCTYPE>, <head>, <title> and <meta>. Pasted into Elementor, WordPress\r\n     strips the tags and renders the title as visible body copy - the exact\r\n     bug that shipped on the homepage. This file starts at <style>.\r\n  2. ABP LINK CORRECTED. Was abp.org\/news\/dr-dazelle-dean-simpson-1925-2020,\r\n     which only resolves via redirect. Now the verified canonical:\r\n     https:\/\/www.abp.org\/news\/memoriam\/dr-dazelle-dean-simpson-1925-2020\r\n     Used in sameAs, in citation, in the Sources block, and inline in copy.\r\n     The ABP blog post added as a second sameAs and citation.\r\n  3. CANONICAL @id REGISTRY. Was #organization \/ #simpson \/ #paschal \/\r\n     #paschalthomas - a THIRD namespace after the homepage and About Us.\r\n     Now matched sitewide:\r\n       #physician  #drpaschal  #drpaschalsr  #drsimpson  #drgsimpson\r\n       #miami  #northmiamibeach  #plantation\r\n     Page-scoped nodes: \/our-founders#webpage, #breadcrumb, #faq.\r\n  4. NEW availability-first answer block (.rhp-avail) above the narrative,\r\n     with all three addresses, hours and phone numbers. Added to speakable.\r\n  5. DR. GEORGE SIMPSON now has his own Person node - independently\r\n     verifiable via the ABP as Florida's first board-certified\r\n     African-American surgeon - plus a dedicated FAQ.\r\n  6. NEW FAQ \"Who was the first Black pediatrician in Florida?\" - a factual\r\n     question with one correct answer, verifiable at abp.org, almost no\r\n     competition. The single strongest AI-citation target on the site.\r\n  7. FAQ count 10 -> 13. Added the mother\/daughter disambiguation, \"who\r\n     leads the practice now\", the Black-owned question, and the\r\n     neighbourhood question (Miami Gardens \/ Liberty City \/ Opa-locka).\r\n  8. PLANTATION corrected: schema was Mon\/Tue\/Wed\/Fri - THURSDAY WAS\r\n     MISSING. Now Mon-Fri, CLOSED SATURDAY, stated in copy, in the location\r\n     card, in the FAQ and in schema. The old FAQ told parents to \"confirm\r\n     Saturday availability\" at an office that is closed Saturdays.\r\n  9. NORTH MIAMI BEACH schema was missing its Saturday 9-1 spec. Added.\r\n 10. MISSPELLINGS REMOVED from alternateName (\"Dr. Pascal\", \"Rachel Paschal\",\r\n     \"Roslyn Pascal\"). Ambiguous short forms (\"Dr. Paschal\") moved off the\r\n     mother's Person node onto the practice, where those searches belong.\r\n 11. Dr. Rozalyn H. Paschal marked deceased and moved out of the practice's\r\n     employee array to `alumni`. NPI 1861622672 added to the current\r\n     physician. Neighbourhood-level areaServed expanded to 23 entries.\r\n 12. BROKEN SENTENCE FIXED: \"which Hazel Health partnership connecting\r\n     students to primary care - reaching children...\" had an anchor pasted\r\n     over its verb.\r\n 13. FAMILY-SOURCED HISTORY RESTORED (v2.1). These are owner\/family-reported\r\n     primary-source facts, a valid DGOS evidence class, and they are back in\r\n     both copy and schema:\r\n       * Practice founded in Miami in 1953 by Dr. Dazelle Dean Simpson\r\n       * Dr. Simpson retired in 1995 after 42 years in practice\r\n       * Dr. Simpson was the first Black physician to practice at North\r\n         Shore Medical Center\r\n       * Dr. Rozalyn H. Paschal: University of Florida College of Medicine,\r\n         1975; residency at Jackson Memorial Hospital; led the practice\r\n         until 2020\r\n       * Dr. Rozalyn A. Paschal-Thomas: member of the American Academy of\r\n         Pediatrics\r\n     Evidence labelling: ABP-VERIFIED = the 1 Oct 1957 certification, the\r\n     1925-2020 dates, Fisk 1945, Meharry 1950, 40+ years in Miami, and\r\n     Dr. George Simpson as Florida's first board-certified African-American\r\n     surgeon. FAMILY-REPORTED = everything listed above. Both are stated as\r\n     fact on the page; only the ABP items carry an inline source link.\r\n  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n  FOUNDING YEAR - RESOLVED (v2.1)\r\n  1953, per the family. Restored throughout: hero badge, key facts, stats\r\n  card, timeline, FAQ answers, and schema foundingDate. The page keeps 1953\r\n  (founding) and 1 October 1957 (ABP certification) as SEPARATE facts - the\r\n  previous build conflated them into a single timeline row, which is what\r\n  made the date look contradictory. The \"EST 1959\" on the practice logo is\r\n  still inconsistent with 1953 and should be reconciled.\r\n  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n  DEPLOY\r\n    SCHEMA  -> code-snippet plugin or Yoast header injection. NEVER the\r\n               visual editor; wpautop breaks the JSON.\r\n    CSS     -> Elementor Site Settings > Custom CSS, or Customizer >\r\n               Additional CSS.\r\n    CONTENT -> everything from \"CONTENT STARTS\" into ONE Elementor HTML\r\n               widget or a Gutenberg Custom HTML block.\r\n    No aggregateRating anywhere. If a reviews widget is added later, turn\r\n    OFF its Rich Snippet \/ SEO schema toggle.\r\n  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------\r\n  STILL TO CONFIRM: the \"EST 1959\" on the practice logo vs the 1953\r\n  founding date - how the family wishes Dr. Rozalyn H. Paschal's passing to\r\n  be noted on the page - whether to address the \"black male pediatrician\r\n  near me\" queries (68 impressions) explicitly.\r\n  ============================================================================\r\n-->\r\n\r\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\r\n{\r\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\r\n  \"@graph\": [\r\n    {\r\n      \"@type\": \"BreadcrumbList\",\r\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/our-founders#breadcrumb\",\r\n      \"itemListElement\": [\r\n        {\r\n          \"@type\": \"ListItem\",\r\n          \"position\": 1,\r\n          \"name\": \"Home\",\r\n          \"item\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          \"@type\": \"ListItem\",\r\n          \"position\": 2,\r\n          \"name\": \"Our Founders\",\r\n          \"item\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/our-founders\"\r\n        }\r\n      ]\r\n    },\r\n    {\r\n      \"@type\": [\r\n        \"AboutPage\",\r\n        \"MedicalWebPage\"\r\n      ],\r\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/our-founders#webpage\",\r\n      \"url\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/our-founders\",\r\n      \"name\": \"Black Pediatrician in Miami | Accepting New Patients\",\r\n      \"description\": \"Black-owned pediatric practice in Miami, North Miami Beach and Plantation, founded in 1953 by Dr. Dazelle Dean Simpson, the first African-American pediatrician in Florida certified by the American Board of Pediatrics.\",\r\n      \"inLanguage\": \"en-US\",\r\n      \"specialty\": \"Pediatric\",\r\n      \"isPartOf\": {\r\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/#website\"\r\n      },\r\n      \"breadcrumb\": {\r\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/our-founders#breadcrumb\"\r\n      },\r\n      \"about\": {\r\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/#physician\"\r\n      },\r\n      \"mainEntity\": {\r\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/#drsimpson\"\r\n      },\r\n      \"mentions\": [\r\n        {\r\n          \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/#drsimpson\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/#drgsimpson\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/#drpaschalsr\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/#drpaschal\"\r\n        }\r\n      ],\r\n      \"citation\": [\r\n        {\r\n          \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\r\n          \"name\": \"Dr. Dazelle Dean Simpson, 1925-2020 \u2014 The American Board of Pediatrics\",\r\n          \"url\": \"https:\/\/www.abp.org\/news\/memoriam\/dr-dazelle-dean-simpson-1925-2020\"\r\n        },\r\n        {\r\n          \"@type\": \"WebPage\",\r\n          \"name\": \"Remembering Dr. Dazelle Simpson \u2014 ABP Blog\",\r\n          \"url\": \"https:\/\/blog.abp.org\/blog\/remembering-dr-dazelle-simpson\"\r\n        }\r\n      ],\r\n      \"lastReviewed\": \"2026-08-19\",\r\n      \"reviewedBy\": {\r\n        \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/#drpaschal\"\r\n      },\r\n      \"speakable\": {\r\n        \"@type\": \"SpeakableSpecification\",\r\n        \"cssSelector\": [\r\n          \".rhp-avail\",\r\n          \".rhp-lead-answer\",\r\n          \".rhp-keyfacts\"\r\n        ]\r\n      }\r\n    },\r\n    {\r\n      \"@type\": \"Person\",\r\n      \"@id\": \"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/#drsimpson\",\r\n      \"name\": \"Dazelle Dean Simpson, MD\",\r\n      \"alternateName\": [\r\n        \"Dr. Dazelle Dean Simpson\",\r\n        \"Dazelle Simpson\",\r\n        \"Dr. Dazelle D.

This practice has offered both since 1953, across a <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/services\">full list of pediatric services<\/a> &mdash; from the first newborn visit through annual checkups, <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/school-physicals-near-me\">school physicals near me<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/sports-physicals-near-me\">sports physicals near me<\/a> for student athletes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n                <p>The Miami office sits inside Northside Shopping Center on NW 27th Avenue, which makes it the closest option for families in Northside, Liberty City, Brownsville, West Little River, Gladeview, Miami Gardens, Opa-locka, and Hialeah. Broward County families are served from the <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/pediatrician-in-plantation\">pediatrician in Plantation<\/a> office on State Road 7, and north Miami-Dade families from the <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/pediatrician-in-north-miami-beach\">pediatrician in North Miami Beach<\/a> office in Jackson North Medical Plaza.<\/p>\r\n\r\n                <p>The practice was founded during segregation, when Black children in Miami were routinely denied care at white hospitals and clinics. That origin shaped a commitment that still defines it: <strong>every child deserves the same standard of care, and no family is turned away for who they are or what they can pay.<\/strong> Today that means welcoming Black, Hispanic, Caribbean, Haitian, White, and Asian families across Miami-Dade and Broward County.<\/p>\r\n\r\n                <p>Care is coordinated under the NCQA <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/patient-centered-medical-home\">Patient-Centered Medical Home model<\/a>, so a child's records, referrals, and follow-up travel with them between visits and between offices. Families new to the practice can start with the <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/\">kids doctor near me in Miami<\/a> overview or go straight to the office closest to them.<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\r\n    <!-- Becoming a patient -->\r\n    <section class=\"rhp-section rhp-section-accent\">\r\n        <div class=\"rhp-container\">\r\n            <div class=\"rhp-prose\">\r\n                <h2 class=\"rhp-section-title\" id=\"new-patients\">Accepting New Patients: How to Join the Practice<\/h2>\r\n\r\n                <p class=\"rhp-lead-answer\">Rozalyn H.

Today that means accepting Florida Medicaid, holding same-day sick appointments, offering telemedicine, and partnering with schools so a child's care does not depend on a parent's ability to leave work &mdash; across the <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/services\">full list of pediatric services<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n                <p>One example is the practice's <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/hazel-health-and-paschal-pediatrics-collaborate-to-connect-students-to-primary-care\/\">Hazel Health partnership connecting students to primary care<\/a>, which reaches children who might otherwise go unseen between annual checkups. It is the same idea behind Dr. Simpson's house calls in Liberty City, adapted to how families live now.<\/p>\r\n\r\n                <p>The other continuity is timing. Back-to-school season fills the schedule fast, which is why the practice publishes an <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/school-physicals-near-me-early-scheduling-guide\/\">early scheduling guide for school physicals<\/a> and encourages families to book in spring. Ongoing guidance is collected in the <a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/pediatric-blog\/\">parent guides on the pediatric blog<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n            <div class=\"rhp-reading\">\r\n                <article class=\"rhp-reading-item\">\r\n                    <h3><a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/first-pediatric-visit\/\">What to Expect at Your Baby's First Pediatric Visit<\/a><\/h3>\r\n                    <p>What the pediatrician checks, what to bring, and the questions worth asking at a newborn's first appointment.<\/p>\r\n                <\/article>\r\n                <article class=\"rhp-reading-item\">\r\n                    <h3><a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/medicaid-pediatric-care-miami-north-miami-beach-plantation\/\">Medicaid Pediatric Care in Miami, North Miami Beach &amp; Plantation<\/a><\/h3>\r\n                    <p>How Florida Medicaid covers children's checkups, vaccines, and sick visits at all three offices.<\/p>\r\n                <\/article>\r\n                <article class=\"rhp-reading-item\">\r\n                    <h3><a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/what-should-my-2-year-old-be-doing\/\">What Should My 2-Year-Old Be Doing?<\/a><\/h3>\r\n                    <p>Speech, motor, and social milestones for toddlers, and the red flags worth raising with your pediatrician.<\/p>\r\n                <\/article>\r\n                <article class=\"rhp-reading-item\">\r\n                    <h3><a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/sports-physicals-near-me\">Sports Physicals Near Me<\/a><\/h3>\r\n                    <p>FHSAA EL2 clearance exams for middle school, high school, travel-team and cheer athletes across Miami-Dade and Broward, signed at the visit.<\/p>\r\n                <\/article>\r\n\r\n                <article class=\"rhp-reading-item\">\r\n                    <h3><a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/school-physicals-near-me\">School Physicals Near Me<\/a><\/h3>\r\n                    <p>Florida school entry physicals and DH 680 immunization certificates, completed the same day as the visit.<\/p>\r\n                <\/article>\r\n\r\n                <article class=\"rhp-reading-item\">\r\n                    <h3><a href=\"https:\/\/rhpaschalmd.com\/services\">Full List of Pediatric Services<\/a><\/h3>\r\n                    <p>Everything the practice provides, from newborn care through adolescent medicine.<\/p>\r\n                <\/article>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>\r\n    <\/section>\r\n\r\n    <!-- CTA -->\r\n    <section class=\"rhp-section rhp-section-light\">\r\n        <div class=\"rhp-container\">\r\n            <div class=\"rhp-cta-section\">\r\n                <h2 class=\"rhp-cta-title\">Become Part of the Next Seventy Years<\/h2>\r\n                <p class=\"rhp-cta-text\">Families of every background have trusted this practice with their children since Dr. Simpson opened it.
