Dayton Children’s Hospital main campus was temporarily operating on a generator, but by afternoon, hospital officials said power was restored to the hospital’s main campus. Officials said area residents who have children requiring oxygen or other medical support that requires power can bring them to the hospital’s emergency department.
Power was restored at the main campus, outpatient centers and most other offices. It remained out, however, at Tech Town and The Child Health Pavilion (including Dayton Children’s Pediatrics), as of 4 p.m.
A boil advisory remained in effect at that time, and bottled water was provided to families, patients and staff. Food service was up and running and not impacted, according to hospital officials.
