Physician Liaison Program

Our program is a two-way communication channel, and one additional way Nationwide Children's Hospital strives to better serve physicians, their office staff and patients. Through personal office visits, written correspondence, telephone calls, faxes and email, Nationwide Children's Hospital liaisons provide a critical connection to the hospital.

Please feel free to contact Christina, Tracie, Susan and Kim if you have questions, need referral assistance or would like for them to schedule a meeting with you or your staff. If your practice is not located in a listed territory, please contact Christina Drakulich at (614) 355-0493 or email us at PhysicianResources@NationwideChildrens.org, and a liaison will be assigned to you.

The goal of the Physician Liaison Program is to provide a valuable communication resource to our medical staff, other physicians and referral sources throughout Children's service area. The liaisons offer:

• Information on new programs and specialty updates
• Referral assistance
• Personal communication to Nationwide Children's Hospital
• Single reference source for any hospital-related question
