Caring for kids

Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center and Parkview Health announced they are collaborating to expand pediatric care in cardiology, gastroenterology, and general surgery to families in the Fort Wayne, IN., region.

The collaboration will include telehealth consultations that will allow a family and their Parkview physician to conduct a video conference with a specialty physician at Cincinnati Children's, allowing physicians to work together on a child's care plan.

“This collaboration is centered around the patient and giving them access to a higher level of care,” said Dr. Tom Miller, physician leader, of Parkview Women's & Children's Hospital. “We are now able to provide specialty care alongside the nation's No. 2 ranked children's hospital. Creating convenient access to skilled physicians at Cincinnati Children's who are leaders in their fields can make all the difference to a child battling illness.”
