Your support helps us reduce prematurity and save tiny infants.
Each year 500,000 babies in the United States are born too soon, some so small they fit in the palm of your hand. Prematurity is the major contributor to the alarming rate of infant deaths – nearly 7 percent nationally. Cincinnati Children’s is fully dedicated to reducing prematurity and saving the lives of countless babies. The scientists and clinicians in the Perinatal Institute share a common goal – to improve the health and quality of care for infants and to transform the way care is delivered. Support the Perinatal Institute.

Your support helps us improve care for children with heart disease.
Although heart disease is often thought of as affecting adults, pediatric heart disease is a common congenital defect, afflicting 35,000 children a year in the United States alone. The Cincinnati Children’s Heart Institute brings together the best clinicians and scientists who are working together to change the way pediatric cardiology is practiced around the world by fully integrating all areas of expertise, including research, to find better treatments and cures for pediatric cardiovascular disease.
