CARE House, an advocacy center for children who have been abused, opened in February 1999. This center offers the community a county-wide multidisciplinary investigation team to provide a comprehensive, coordinated response to child abuse cases. CARE House is located across the street from Children's in the former Ronald McDonald House.
Partnerships. Over the years, Dayton Children's has worked diligently to avoid duplication of services and has developed cooperative agreements with several area hospitals. Dayton Children's neonatologists and other staff now work with several area hospitals to provide immediate life-saving care to premature and sick infants.
A significant partnership was strengthened when Dayton Children's began merger discussions with the Children's Hospital Medical Center of Cincinnati in January 1995. Although a merger did not take place this year, discussions led to opportunities for joint research, education and business projects. Today, Dayton Children's partners with Cincinnati to provide critical care and neurosurgery services to children in the Miami Valley area.
The medical center continues purposefully on its course of child advocacy that has been charted carefully over the years. Dayton Children's advocacy efforts got a boost on September 25, 1996 when First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton visited the medical center. During the visit she spoke with administrators, physicians, employees and parents about the importance of child health issues.
Dayton Children's has consistently planned with an eye toward changes in health care delivery while always remaining true to the ideals of those who founded the medical center decades ago. With continued community support, the medical center will not waver in its mission to provide top quality health care for all children in the Miami Valley area.
