“Dayton Children’s mission is to care for all of our children, whether they ever visit us at the hospital or not,” said Deborah Feldman, president and CEO of Dayton Children’s. “This is an investment in the bodies and minds of our children. Not only do they get exercise and fresh air, they get to let their imaginations soar above and beyond here. Their creativity finds an outlet on the playground, while they learn to share, work together and take turns.”
