parent partners
helping us go above and beyond
Children and their families are at the heart of everything we do at Dayton Children’s. We recognize that families are experts in the care and understanding of their children, and that the voice of every family is important. When a family shares about their experiences in health care, we learn new ways to serve our families better.
Our parent partner programs provide opportunities for families to join with us to seek solutions to unmet needs within the hospital, to promote family centered care, and to improve the patient and family experience.
who are parent partners?
A parent partner is:
- Any parent, grandparent, guardian whose child is or has been a patient at any Dayton Children’s location in the last 12 months
- Partners also include young adult patients (18 and up)
- Someone who can speak up honestly and thoughtfully
- Someone who wants to work on behalf of all families
- Someone who likes working as part of a team
- Someone who cares about making Dayton Children’s better
what do parent partners do?
Our parent partners serve in many different roles. As a parent partner, you may have the opportunity to share your story, review documents, help us design new spaces, or serve on an advisory council or committee.
