Telethon donations are used to purchase life-saving medical equipment to use throughout the hospital. Tune in to hear inspiring stories of survival from current and former patients and some special 25th anniversary stories. In addition, the hospital’s 40th anniversary will be commemorated. Be sure to tune in, call in and help ensure that quality pediatric health care services are available for all the region’s children.

Celebrating 40 years and still growing …
Looking for patients from 1967 Dayton Children’s
will celebrate 40 years of caring for children as a full service medical center this year. On September 10, 1967, the board of Barney’s Children’s Medical
Center approved an administrative reorganization
and formally dedicated the new hospital in October 28, 1967.

If you or someone you know was a patient at “Barney’s” in 1967, we want to hear from you. Contact marketing communications at 937-641-3620.
