Dayton Children's is the pediatric referral center for a 20-county region. We offer pediatric services in general pediatrics and over 35 specialty areas. This area contains information about each of these pediatric services.
Three west is the patient care area for mostly medical patients of all ages and is located on the third floor of phase I and the west pavilion building. The unit accommodates up to 52 patients. All rooms have telephones and televisions with VCRs. A playroom offers a place for patients and families to take a break from the hospital routine. Two full baths are available on the unit for parents. See a slide show of three west's unique, aquatic themed design and check out all the amenities the unit has to offer.
