Dayton Children’s Hospital announced plans for a new rehabilitative services building that will expand access to physical therapy, speech therapy and occupational therapy for children and families across the region. It’s an area that has seen tremendous growth, with patient visits more than doubling in the last five years. 

The new location will feature convenient surface parking, outdoor space to aid in healing and a single-level layout, making it easier for families to arrive, check in and get to appointments. The building will also include better-designed therapy spaces to accommodate children living with autism. These features are especially important as many families have regular appointments with children who frequently have mobility or sensory challenges 

The future facility will be developed at 437 Valley Street, which is currently a parking lot next to the Ronald McDonald House.
