💛 As we head into Thanksgiving, we’re reflecting on what we’re most grateful for — and at the top of that list are the families who help us grow every day.
At Dayton Children’s, families are the experts in their child’s care. When you share your experiences and ideas, you help us strengthen safety, access, and the patient and family experience.
That’s why our Family Partners are so important. They bring their voices directly into our decision-making to ensure care truly reflects our community’s needs.
One of those voices is Landon’s mom, a member of our Patient Family Advisory Council (PFAC). After a frightening first week of life with multiple readmissions, she felt called to get involved:
✨ “I looked for a way to get more involved and was excited to find this opportunity to serve on the council… I don’t take it for granted that we have a nationally ranked hospital right in our backyard.”
Family Partners like her have helped bring free parking, improved accessibility, upgraded restrooms, better education materials, input on wayfinding, specialty center design, and more.
🧡 This Thanksgiving, we’re especially grateful for the families who partner with us — and we’d love for you to be one of them.
If your child has been a Dayton Children’s patient in the last 12 months and you’re passionate about advocating for families, you can make a meaningful impact here.
