Leading the Journey to Best Outcomes | Strategic Plan 2021-2026

Nationwide Children’s Hospital has long been on the journey to best outcomes. Now, with a new strategic plan, we are leading that journey.

Our singular focus on integrating the highest-quality care with cutting-edge research attracts patients from all over the world – in some cases, for the kind of treatment that is only available here. This integration is at the heart of what Nationwide Children’s does, and it is deepened and magnified by three unique assets that no other pediatric institution has in quite the same way:
• An unparalleled commitment to Behavioral Health, which allows us to address the needs of the whole child – their mental and emotional wellbeing, along with their physical health.
• A trailblazing model of Health Equity and Population Health, which allows us to impact factors that are crucial to a child’s future potential but are outside of traditional medical care, such as housing, educational opportunity and job training.
• A deep investment in genomics, which is revolutionizing medicine the way x-rays or lab testing once did, allowing for the kind of personalized treatments that were once only dreamed of.
Our integrated care and research, along with our unique assets, are Nationwide Children’s special ecosystem. It is enabling us to change lives now, and to drive the future of pediatric care.
