The only exceptions are appointments with Dayton Children’s Pediatrics in the Child Health Pavilion at 1010 Valley St. Those appointments are canceled because the building is still without power.
Update 11:30 a.m.:
Dayton Children’s Hospital officials say power is restored to the hospital’s main campus, and area residents who have children requiring oxygen or other medical support that requires power can bring them to the hospital’s emergency department.
Power is restored at the main campus, outpatient centers and most other offices. It remains out, however, at Tech Town and The Child Health Pavilion (including Dayton Children’s Pediatrics), according to hospital officials.
A boil advisory remains in effect and bottled water is being provided to families, patients and staff. Families and staff are urged to conserve water as part of the advisory. Food service is up and running and not impacted, according to hospital officials.
