Patient families and local officials were among those who cheered the dedication of Cincinnati Children’s Centerville during a ribbon-cutting ceremony in advance of the medical building’s scheduled opening on Monday, March 6.
“Our new presence in Centerville represents just one way that we continue to find opportunities to expand our services to children who need our care,” said Chief Operating Officer Evie Alessandrini, MD.
“We have long served patients and families from this area – and now they no longer have to drive a long distance for care,” said Evie, master of ceremonies during the Friday, March 3, dedication of our first building in Montgomery County.
“Cincinnati Children’s Centerville has seen an incredible response from patients and families who had not previously had easy access to the world-class care that the medical center provides,” said Evie, who noted that more than 400 appointments were made for the new location in advance of the opening.
Cincinnati Children’s Centerville will improve access to a wide range of pediatric care anchored by:
Gastroenterology
Neurology
Ear, Nose & Throat
Preventive Cardiology
Center for Better Health and Nutrition
Urology
Genetics
Pediatric Surgery Clinic
Outpatient Laboratory Services
Over time, we expect to add other subspecialty care at the location.
Speakers at the dedication included suburban Dayton resident Hollee Stanton and her son Gabriel, 14, a patient at Cincinnati Children’s. The Centerville location will ensure shorter travel time for the family.
Mayor Brooks Compton, who was among many local officials at the ceremony, said Cincinnati Children’s Centerville will be an important addition to the community. Cincinnati Children’s is investing about $9.1 million to open the medical building.
James Greenberg, MD, a neonatologist, said Cincinnati Children’s Centerville will have at least a dozen employees onsite daily. That will include physicians and advance practice providers, nurses, medical technicians and assistants, as well as support staff.
“We want to make it easy for those with multiple care needs to be seen in one place, close to their homes, and in coordination with other local providers, pediatricians, schools, and the larger community,” said James, who serves as Cincinnati Children’s lead physician executive for master planning.
