Because children’s environments have a huge impact on their wellbeing, Nationwide Children’s is furthering its nationally recognized efforts to help children where they are: in their schools, homes, and neighborhoods through population health work and by addressing social determinants of health.
Nationwide Children’s will continue to advance its groundbreaking work for children and families experiencing mental health crises by investing in new research efforts, staff and clinicians, and innovative resources for parents and other providers.
Over the next five years, new investments, partnerships and infrastructure will allow The Steve and Cindy Rasmussen Institute for Genomic Medicine to develop novel genomics-enabled research, advance genomics-driven precision medicine and pursue further breakthroughs in the technology of computational genomics and informatics.
In 2009, with the launch of the Zero Hero program, Nationwide Children’s became the first children’s hospital in the country to commit to eliminating all preventable harm. It started an international movement to improve pediatric patient outcomes by making pediatric health care safer and more effective. Building on that foundation, over the next five years, Nationwide Children's will establish a new safety framework, reimagine Zero Hero, and establish The Center for Clinical Excellence.
