TOLEDO, Ohio — Nationwide Children’s Hospital has announced that the 6.6-acre property located at 1946 North 13th St. in Toledo was donated to their foundation by BTC Toledo.
“This remarkably generous gift will allow Nationwide Children’s – Toledo to continue expanding our infrastructure and provides us an opportunity to help even more children achieve their best outcomes,” said Rick Miller, President of Nationwide Children’s – Toledo in a press release. “The donation from BTC Toledo and the Pennie family will improve the lives of children and families in northwest Ohio for decades to come. We’re grateful that the Pennie family has chosen to contribute in this way to our goal of nurturing the highest-quality pediatric care in Toledo.”
In the release, Nationwide Children’s notes that the property is home to various businesses and community organizations. They said the current tenants have been notified about the ownership change.
There are not currently any finalized plans for the property, but Nationwide Children’s vice president for planning and business development, Libbey Hoang, said they will make sure they keep kids and families a priority.
“While specific plans are still being developed, the possibilities are wide ranging—from supporting patient care and population health initiatives—to creating space for local nonprofits and community partners,” Hoang said in the release. “In Columbus, we routinely collaborate with health systems and nonprofits to develop facilities and programs that address the greatest areas of need. We will take the same thoughtful approach here, ensuring that whatever goes into this space reflects the priorities of children and families in northwest Ohio.”
