Welcome from the Leadership
Tina Cheng, MD, MPH:
Congratulations on choosing the best specialty in medicine…Pediatrics! Child health sets the foundation for health in adulthood and in future generations. It is a privilege and responsibility to work with children, adolescents, and families to ensure that foundation. We would be excited to have you join us in our vision to be the leader in improving child health in our missions of clinical care, research, education, and advocacy.
Cincinnati Children’s has a long history of leadership in many areas with a focus on family-centered physical and mental wellness and care, quality improvement, primary care and specialty excellence, leading-edge research, and health equity. There is a very special culture of collaboration and innovation and a real commitment to training leaders.
As a city, Cincinnati has a ton to offer and Cincinnati Children’s is in the heart of it all. Cincinnati consistently ranks high in best places to live including top city for parks (87% of residents live within a 10 minute walk to a park!), second best history museum in the country (National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, USA Today top 10), great sports teams, schools, music and entertainment. And from the hospital you can walk to the zoo and botanical garden, see a few animals or flowers, and be back in minutes!
Children are 9% of US healthcare spending and 100% of our future. Join us in optimizing that future.
