Key Takeaways

• Cincinnati Children's fifth annual Community Impact Report notes nearly $594 million in community benefit services and more than 1.75 million patient encounters, supported by a workforce of over 19,500 employees.
• The report also spotlights expanded access, including new facilities in Northern Kentucky and Eastgate that bring primary, specialty, urgent and behavioral health care closer to families across the region.
• Cincinnati Children's strong investment in research, mental health and innovation remains central, with ongoing efforts to improve outcomes for all children.

Cincinnati Children's has issued its fifth-annual Community Impact Report, which highlights how the nonprofit health system is bringing care closer to home throughout the region by opening new locations and operating a Mobile Care Center.

The report also notes that our cancer program - which includes a comprehensive care team, frequent case reviews and participation in clinical trials - was one of three Cincinnati Children's pediatric specialties to be ranked No. 1 in the nation by U.S. News & World Report, along with Gastroenterology & GI Surgery plus Diabetes & Endocrinology.

In addition, the report details how Cincinnati Children's employees delivered $593.98 million in community benefit services - including more than $337 million in charitable patient care and over $11.2 million in subsidized health services - during Fiscal Year 2024, which ran July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024.

That total included more than $13.2 million devoted to community outreach such as wellness initiatives and injury prevention. Another $146.2 million went to laboratory science and applied research, and nearly $86 million to the education of prospective physicians and other healthcare professionals.

Cincinnati Children's recently opened several innovative locations throughout Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky that bring care closer to home, including:

• The Brandon and Kelly Janszen Union KY building, our first Northern Kentucky location that offers both primary and specialty care.
• Our first Northern Kentucky urgent care at the renovated Crestview Hills location.
• Our new Eastgate location in Clermont County, which features specialty clinics, behavioral healthcare, outpatient surgery and an urgent care.
• Our new school-based health center at New Richmond Schools in Clermont County, which provides primary care, chronic condition management, well checks and sports physicals.
• New primary care practices in Loveland and Wilmington.

"Some of the same surgeons and other medical providers who care for pediatric patients at our main campus in the city now see patients at our new locations," Evaline Alessandrini, MD, chief operating officer of Cincinnati Children's, is quoted as saying in the report.

And the Cincinnati Children's Mobile Care Center - a 37-foot-long vehicle equipped to offer services related to pediatric cariology, allergy and immunology, audiology, endocrinology, dermatology, sports medicine and adolescent medicine - improves access by taking our medical providers to some areas. "Our mission is to have our Mobile Care Center out in communities to increase access for families that might have difficultly traveling to our locations," said Becky Taylor, operations manager.

The latest Community Impact Report, focused mostly on the fiscal year from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, highlights the system's strong commitment to child health supported by excellence in clinical practice, research and training. The world-class clinical care provided by Cincinnati Children's is made possible by the health system's more than 19,500 team members, thousands of whom are engaged in medical research to develop treatments and cures that benefit kids here and around the globe. The team includes more than 4,800 nurses and over 1,900 active medical staff.

Other report highlights include:

• Clinicians, patients and families have partnered to develop strategies and resources to promote emotional health among kids with chronic medical conditions through the Roadmap for Emotional Health Project.
• One of the nation's largest providers of pediatric mental health services, Cincinnati Children's reported more than 244,000 visits, screenings, consultations and admissions related to mental health in Fiscal Year 2025. Every year at the College Hill campus, Cincinnati Children's cares for over 4,000 mental health inpatients, who range from 2 to 17 years old. College Hill also offers critical mental health outpatient services.

Overall during FY25, Cincinnati Children's had more than 1.75 million patient encounters (admissions plus outpatient, Emergency Department and Urgent Care visits). That included:

• 1.55 million outpatient visits
• 167,000 ED and Urgent Care visits
• 106,000 telehealth visits
• Nearly 34,000 admissions

The report notes that Cincinnati Children's is a research powerhouse, applying the most advanced techniques to discover new ways to prevent and treat pediatric diseases. That was aided, in part, by $26.3 million in philanthropic support for research during Fiscal Year 2025.
