community engagement
Together with families, schools, and local partners, we champion wellness, improve access to care, and create a healthier future for every child in our community.


community health
The saying, “A person’s health is determined more by zip code than genetic code” has been proven through research and studies to be true, especially within our community. Learn more about how we engage throughout our region to improve health conditions through our community health programs.
community outreach & sponsorship requests
Optimal health isn’t achieved inside the hospital walls; it happens in the community where children live, learn and play. That’s why Dayton Children’s invests in organizations, events and activities in our region that improve the health, wellness, and safety of children and families. By supporting and partnering with community organizations that share the same focus, we can reinvent the path to children’s health and make our region the healthiest place for a child to grow up.
