Expanding Horizons For Every Child. For Every Reason

As a national pediatric leader, we aspire to provide the highest quality of care during treatment. We are also now uniquely positioned to positively shape the long-term health of children. Our results will first benefit the community we serve and in the process redefine what is possible for children everywhere.

Our shared vision: Create optimal health for every child in our community. This vision will be achieved by results across three horizons.

• During Care: Ensure best outcomes and experience for every child we treat.

• After and Between Care: Return our patients to their full potential and optimal quality of life.

• Overall Health: Serve as a catalyst and coordinator for the long-term health of all children in our community. This vision builds on our rich 117-year mission. We will continue to serve every child for every reason. The difference is that now we will lead children’s development to optimal health, even beyond our four walls.

One vision: Create optimal health for every child in our community,

"With this new plan, we are poised and ready to accomplish something truly unique. Something that will set us apart from any other children’s hospital, that will put us at the forefront of the health care debate and, most importantly, will really improve the health of all children in this community."
– Abigail S. Wexner, Chair,

"If we’re going to truly live out the meaning of our mission, we have to work in new ways to improve the health of the whole community. In the 21st century we can’t just be a health care destination. We need to be a catalyst for change across the entire region."
