In the Spotlight: As the back-to-school season approaches, it’s not just about new backpacks and pencils — it’s also about protecting your child’s health. Dr. Felicia Scaggs Huang, medical director of Infection Prevention and Control, is urging families to ensure children are up to date on required vaccinations, especially in light of the recent rise in measles cases nationwide.

At just 11 years old, Jaxen was diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. His condition progressed quickly, and he needed a double lung transplant to survive. With the help of Cincinnati Children’s and the support of his mom, Jaxen received a double lung transplant—and a chance to live fully again. Today, he’s back to doing what he loves most. His story is one of courage, care, and hope.

There was a small fire this evening in an area under construction in the B building on the Burnet Campus. No one was injured and we anticipate little to no disruption to operations.

Thank you to our staff and our local first responders for their quick action and response!

Our Centerville Location, including all walk in services, will close temporarily at the end of the day on Friday, Aug. 8, due to a construction issue that we need to address. The location will likely remain closed for several months for construction.

We will move appointments to other Cincinnati Children’s locations, making every effort to keep the same date, time and provider. We may switch some visits to telehealth. We will call you to discuss options for your scheduled appointment; please be patient with us as we contact patients and families in the order they are already scheduled.

Centerville Primary Care will temporarily relocate to share space with Liberty Primary Care.

Thank you for your patience during this temporary closure. We will share more about Centerville reopening as that information becomes available.

Meet Dr. Diroff.

Dr. Diroff recently traveled to the Dominican Republic with a non-profit organization she collaborates with, IOPEN, comprising a multidisciplinary team of ophthalmologists covering all subspecialties who visit ILAC annually to provide surgical care to pre-screened patients. These patients are identified by foundation workers/community social workers known as cuperadoras and a local ophthalmologist, Dr. Guzman, who collaborates with the team to ensure continued care after surgery. Notably, all team members have ties to Detroit through residency, fellowship, or current attending positions. Their collective goal is to enhance vision for patients who might otherwise lack access to care
