Our Mission and Vision

Our Vision

To be the 1st Choice for children's health.

Our Mission

To improve the health status of all children through service, education, research and advocacy.

Service

The primary mission of Dayton Children's is to provide quality health care for children from infancy through adolescence. The hospital will be a health care resource to all children of the Miami Valley regardless of their socioeconomic status. We will offer comprehensive inpatient and outpatient diagnosis and treatment in an emotionally supportive setting for our patients and their families.

Education and Research

Dayton Children's will provide pediatric training for a variety of health care professionals at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate levels. We will, in partnership with affiliated institutions, participate in the support of appropriate research activities.

Advocacy and Community Responsibility

Dayton Children's will be an active advocate for children. We will work to develop local, state and national health policies that reflect the needs of children. We will encourage, support and participate in community programs to improve the health, education and overall wellness of area children.

We believe there are 18 ways we're just right for our region's kids! Learn more and share your story at justrightforkids.org.
