As the region's pediatric referral center, The Children's Medical Center of Dayton is committed to providing prevention information and education as well as clinical care.

Generous community partners such as the Junior League of Dayton and Kohl's Department Stores have helped Dayton Children's reach children and families throughout the region with health and safety information.

Our Child Health Information (CHI) sheets offer simple, easy-to-follow guidance on a variety of topics, from diapering a baby or taking a temperature to cast care and feeding tubes. More than 100 topics are available for your convenience.

Knowing what to expect throughout the year helps families prepare. Seasonal Health Alerts offer information on prevention, symptoms and treatment for some common seasonal concerns.

We know that fitness, nutrition and weight issues are more and more common in children and teens. Healthy Lifestyles contains information on Dayton Children's lipid and nutrition clinics, recipes for healthy eating, a BMI (body mass index) calculator and more.
