Cincinnati Children's Opens Children's Outpatient Facility in Northern Kentucky

Partner for the Facility to include St. Elizabeth

Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, in a partnership with St. Elizabeth Medical Center, expanded its network of outpatient service facilities to Crestview Hills, Kentucky. The outpatient pediatric center will be operated by Cincinnati Children's as part of its network of pediatric outpatient centers serving the Greater Cincinnati area.

Children's Outpatient Northern Kentucky, located at 2765 Chapel Place, will occupy 23,190 square feet making it one of the largest Cincinnati Children's outpatient centers. The new facility will consolidate services provided by Cincinnati Children's in other Kentucky locations, including Redwood Rehabilitation Center in Florence and at St. Elizabeth.

"We are pleased to extend our successful partnership with Cincinnati Children's to this new facility that combines specialized outpatient care with easy access for residents of Northern Kentucky", says Marc Hoffman, Executive Vice President of St. Elizabeth Medical Center. "St. Elizabeth and Children's have worked together to provide Children's emergency physicians in St. Elizabeth's Edgewood Emergency Department and pediatric subspecialists from Children's have held outpatients clinics at St. Elizabeth South since 1990. Children's and St. Elizabeth, along with the pediatricians practicing in Northern Kentucky, have a history of working together to provide the highest quality pediatric care to Northern Kentucky and this new venture helps insure that continues."

The new Children's Outpatient Northern Kentucky location is designed specifically for infants, children and teens. Pediatric services offered will include:

"At Cincinnati Children's, we believe that every family should have convenient access to world-class pediatric care," says Char Mason, vice president of Outpatient and Home Care Services at Cincinnati Children's. "Our new outpatient center will provide a wider variety of services to Northern Kentucky families at one convenient location while continuing our great partnership with St. Elizabeth."

Children's Outpatient Northern Kentucky will complement existing Cincinnati Children's outpatient centers currently providing pediatric care, including Ohio locations in Anderson, Eastgate, Fairfield, West Chester, Harrison and Mason.

Additional specialty services are offered at Hopple Street Neighborhood Health Center, Drake Center, College Hill, Middletown Hospital, and Indiana locations in Batesville and Greensburg.
