Nationwide Children's Hospital is America's third largest pediatric hospital, treating more than 1.8 million patients annually across a network of 68 affiliated facilities throughout Ohio. The hospital serves patients from all 50 U.S. states and 49 countries, positioning it as a significant centre for pediatric medical care and research.
The organisation operates across multiple clinical domains, including general pediatric care, specialised surgery, and research aimed at advancing pediatric medicine globally. Notable achievements include pioneering bladder exstrophy surgical procedures that have reduced hospital stays from two months to eight days. The hospital has also secured $64 million in funding for school-based health programmes serving underserved Appalachian communities, reflecting its commitment to extending care beyond its primary facilities.
Nationwide Children's Hospital is backing its mission with substantial institutional investment through a $3.3 billion strategic plan designed to transform health outcomes for children. The organisation's approach encompasses both clinical excellence and community engagement, with a stated principle that no child should be refused necessary care based on family finances.
