Media Opportunities

There were also many media opportunities during Family Advocacy Day to help get information out to the public about the importance of children's hospitals and pediatric specialists.  Michael Dosedel, our ambassador, had a few opportunities to speak with members of the press and tell his amazing story!

Although our main goal of Family Advocacy Day was to talk with legislators and speak on behalf of Dayton Children's - there was some downtime to see the beautiful sites and meet some other amazing children and families.

Visiting with Legislators

Visiting with legislators is the most important part of Family Advocacy Day.  It's really important for us to share with our legislators the importance of children's hospitals and pediatric specialists.

Here are some photos from our visits with our Ohio legislators.
