Bringing the Expertise of Nationwide Children's Hospital Home
Homecare
Many people find that being at home is sometimes the best medicine. And children are no exception. That’s why there’s Nationwide Children’s Hospital Homecare.
At Nationwide Children’s Hospital Homecare, our goal is to return each child to the most normal, pain-free life possible. To reach that goal, we provide a full range of homecare services to central Ohio children of all ages, from newborns through young adults. Homecare has expanded its care to northwest Ohio and is now accepting new patients in Lucas, Hancock and Wood counties.
Our staff takes time to help parents and families understand their role in caring for their children at home. We've provided family-centered, pediatric health care to children in their homes for more than 30 years.
