In honor of 75 years of clinical social work at Nationwide Children’s, we are proud to convene the community of partners and social workers who have strengthened and sustained our work over decades of service. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to come together as social workers in health care, build community, and work together toward shared goals for our work with patients and families for the future.

Day One: We welcome social work leaders in health care from throughout the state of Ohio, from all health care settings. We will enjoy lunch together and consider policies, rules, and resources unique to our state that impact patients, families, health care organizations and social workers in health care spaces. As a consortium group, we will also consider how we might move forward together, building on this community, to promote strong clinical practice that benefits health care organizations and the families they serve.

Day Two: We welcome social work leaders in health care from throughout the United States in a pediatric-focused intensive day of education and networking. Social workers in all settings and at all levels of practice are welcomed to join this day, as our topics are translatable and applicable throughout health care. We will enjoy an outstanding slate of speakers representing a range of topics and regions throughout the country and continue to strengthen community with other pediatric-focused social workers.
