CINCINNATI, Ohio — Cincinnati Children’s Hospital has released its fifth annual Community Impact Report, detailing nearly $594 million in community benefit services delivered during the most recent fiscal year and announcing a series of new locations across the region that bring pediatric care closer to families — including a new primary care practice in Wilmington.
The report, which covers the fiscal year running July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, documents more than 1.75 million patient encounters across the health system, supported by a workforce of more than 19,500 employees, including over 4,800 nurses and nearly 1,900 active medical staff.
The $593.98 million in community benefit services reported for Fiscal Year 2024 included more than $337 million in charitable patient care, over $11.2 million in subsidized health services, more than $13.2 million in community outreach including wellness initiatives and injury prevention programs, $146.2 million in laboratory science and applied research, and nearly $86 million toward the education of future physicians and healthcare professionals.
New locations expanding regional access
Cincinnati Children’s has opened several new facilities as part of a broader effort to bring care closer to families across Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and surrounding counties. New locations include its first Northern Kentucky facility in Union offering primary and specialty care, a new urgent care in Crestview Hills, a new location in Eastgate in Clermont County featuring specialty clinics, behavioral healthcare, outpatient surgery and urgent care, and a new school-based health center at New Richmond Schools in Clermont County.
Closer to the Scioto Valley region, Cincinnati Children’s has opened new primary care practices in both Loveland and Wilmington. The Wilmington location extends the health system’s reach into Clinton County, giving families in that area access to Cincinnati Children’s providers without traveling to the Cincinnati main campus.
“Some of the same surgeons and other medical providers who care for pediatric patients at our main campus in the city now see patients at our new locations,” said Evaline Alessandrini, MD, chief operating officer of Cincinnati Children’s.
Mobile care and mental health
The health system also operates a 37-foot Mobile Care Center that travels to communities to provide services including pediatric cardiology, allergy and immunology, audiology, endocrinology, dermatology, sports medicine, and adolescent medicine.
Mental health services remain a major part of Cincinnati Children’s operations. The health system reported more than 244,000 mental health visits, screenings, consultations and admissions in Fiscal Year 2025, making it one of the nation’s largest providers of pediatric mental health services. The College Hill campus alone cares for more than 4,000 mental health inpatients annually between the ages of 2 and 17.
Cincinnati Children’s cancer program, along with its Gastroenterology and GI Surgery and Diabetes and Endocrinology programs, was ranked number one in the nation by U.S. News and World Report. The health system received $26.3 million in philanthropic support for research during Fiscal Year 2025.
