It’s not just a clever or convenient name: Nationwide Children’s Hospital is building a truly national profile. In 2024, nearly 1.8 million patients visited from all 50 states and 44 countries. “We are, in fact, a nationwide children’s hospital, and the reason we pursue that is not because we want to be nationwide, but because we want to attract the specialists who need patient populations,” Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Senior Vice President of Strategic and Facilities Planning Patty McClimon said.
