Reaching Out to Improve Children's Health

Dayton Children’s commitment to caring for children beyond our walls and into the community is a key part of our mission. As a not-for-profit institution, our tax-exempt status allows us to focus on this mission and what is best for kids and our community instead of the bottom-line.

We are proud to report that Dayton Children’s provides more than $29,040,527 in programs and services to the community each year. These community benefits are above and beyond the care provided on our main campus and in our community locations.

We believe Dayton Children’s is an indispensible resource to the Dayton region because we:

Serve as the community's safety net hospital by caring for all children regardless of their ability to pay, while providing and subsidizing hospital and community-based services that are either limited or unavailable elsewhere in our community.
Serve as a voice for children through public policy advocacy to change laws, policies or systems leading to the improvement of health and safety for children and families.
Join with community partners and lend support throughout our region to improve the lives of children and their families.
Train future doctors and health care providers to become the next generation of high quality, professional pediatric experts.
Deliver $340 million in economic impact while continuing to be a great organization to work for.

At Dayton Children’s we are committed to living our mission to improve the health status of all children. Our community benefit activities demonstrate this commitment to our community’s children.
