Father Daughter Dating, It's Important!

Dayton is closing the gap on children’s mental health services!

Yesterday, we unveiled the first inpatient behavioral health unit in our 50 year history as a free-standing, independent children’s hospital. The goal of this unit is to stabilize a child in crisis in a safe, comfortable and supportive environment then connect that child to ongoing outpatient therapy. The 24- bed unit will begin accepting patients on July 9, 2019 and the average expected length of stay will be four days. It was designed with safety as the highest priority.
