Emailing Community Relations

The Community Relations email is intended strictly for questions and comments related to the Good Neighbor Agreement and ongoing facilities construction. Please visit healthyhomescolumbus.org for information related to the Healthy Homes program. 

The Community Relations email does not function as a physician referral department or provide contact information for employees of Nationwide Children’s Hospital. For additional questions or concerns not related to Community Relations, please visit the additional Nationwide Children’s Hospital departmental sites listed below.
