Nationwide Children’s Behavioral Health Services is one of the largest pediatric behavioral health service lines in the United States. It fosters a multidisciplinary, team-based approach to mental health care that integrates psychiatry, psychology, community mental health, and related developmental pediatric behavioral health services at Nationwide Children’s and The Ohio State University. Outpatient psychiatric services have comprehensive nursing support. 

In 2020, thanks to a transformational $50 million gift from Big Lots and their Foundation, Nationwide Children’s constructed America’s largest center dedicated exclusively to child and adolescent behavioral and mental health on a pediatric medical campus. The Big Lots Behavioral Health Pavilion is nine stories and 386,000 square feet. It uniquely integrates acute behavioral health services with intensive outpatient services.

Features of this one-of-a-kind center include:

  • A Psychiatric Crisis Department with nine assessment rooms that are more conducive to working with pediatric patients and families in crisis than a typical emergency room. A 10-bed Extended Observation Suite allows for appropriate time to determine if a patient should be admitted to a higher level of care.
  • A Youth Crisis Stabilization Unit with 16 beds designed for intensive mental health treatment for youth. 
  • Influenced by trauma-informed practices, inpatient psychiatry units are maximized for safety and comfort, from furniture and lighting, to considerations made for bathrooms and doorways. The Pavilion will ramp up to house 48 patient beds. It has three specicially designed units, including one for children with neurobehavioral disorders.
  • A gym, fitness room and play deck allow patients to run and play.
  • Outdoor fifth story courtyards provide respite to families and to staff. The Ronald McDonald Family Room, operated by Ronald McDonald House Charities,  is a place for families to take a break.
  • Common gathering places on each unit allow patients and families to interact during the day in group therapy, and provide places for connection throughout the treatment journey.
  • Intensive outpatient programs, including the Mood and Anxiety Program, Family-Based Intensive Treatment, outpatient general psychiatry, and the Critical Assessment and Treatment Clinic.
  • The Center for Suicide Prevention and Research, which is continuing its work to address the growing problem of suicide among youth.
  • Comfort rooms throughout the Pavilion offer patients access to soothing spaces that give staff the ability to control lighting and provide music, complete with softer furniture. A sanctuary and quiet alcoves with views of nature and natural light will also provide places of respite. More than 10,000 people nationally made contributions to Project SNAP to create inspirational artwork for the pavilion.

Nationwide Children’s Hospital and the Department of Pediatrics at The Ohio State University College of Medicine seek a Medical Director of Hepatology and Liver Transplantation to join our growing Pancreas and Liver Care Center.

Nationwide Children’s first UNOS-certified Pediatric Liver Transplant Program was launched in 2017 and is now under the surgical leadership of Dr. Jaimie Nathan who joined our team in 2021 as Chief of the Department of Abdominal Transplant and Hepatopancreatobiliary Surgery to develop a nationally recognized transplant center at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. A second pediatric liver and kidney transplant surgeon, Dr. Sara Rasmussen, joined our Center in 2022 and serves as Associate Surgical Director of Liver Transplant and Surgical Director for Transplant Quality at Nationwide Children's.

We have been performing pediatric liver and combined liver/kidney transplantation for a variety of indications – including hepatic malignancy and metabolic disease – across all age groups. With the arrival of Dr. Nathan, we have greatly expanded the spectrum of our care for children with advanced liver disease and the complexity of patients evaluated for and receiving a pediatric liver transplant at our center. We perform technical variant graft transplants, both split liver and reduced size, and we do offer living donor liver transplantation.

Within the last five years, the Division has nearly doubled its number of faculty and currently ranks #6 in the U.S. News and World Report among children’s hospitals for Gastroenterology and GI Surgery. The Division includes 31 physicians, six PNPs, two PAs, ten fellows, and over 40 dedicated pediatric gastroenterology nurses, research coordinators, dietitians, and social workers working together within a state-of-the-art 25,000 sq ft multi-functional GI Center (outpatient clinics, treatment rooms, endoscopy suites, conference rooms, provider, and support offices). In 2022, we expanded our capabilities to include advanced endoscopy services, including ERCP, endoscopic ultrasound, and EUS-guided liver biopsy, and we established an active total pancreatectomy and islet autotransplantation (TPIAT) program, with 12 patients having undergone the procedure to date.
