Hospital Go-To Guide
Celebrating the country’s biggest pediatric expansion. Ever.
You made it possible! We thank you. Our Grand Opening events were magical and inspiring. And our hospital move-in day was successful as patients were transferred to new rooms and the new main hospital officially opened for business on June 20, 2012.
Want to know more about the new hospital? More than a million patients will walk through our doors in 2012. And we’re ready. Our new, 12-story main hospital adds 750,000 square feet of clinical space, a third research building adds 225,000 square feet
of research space, underground parking frees up six acres of green space for trees, pathways and gardens. Plus a LEED-certified Central Energy Plant makes the entire enterprise environmentally friendly.
Ten years ago, we made a promise to you and your children. We kept it. The promise: No child need ever leave central Ohio for world-class medical care.
On June 11, 2012, Nationwide Children's dedicated its new main campus. A 12-story, state-of-the-art hospital. A third, world-class research building. The next chapter in our 120-year history of providing advanced pediatric care and research begins now.
