Patient Services
The International Patient Program offers special services to patients and families who are coming from outside the United States to Cincinnati Children’s. Our team can help make the entire experience easier for patients, families, and referring physicians. The international team will help you with the many details of your visit to Cincinnati. A multilingual patient care coordinator will be your main point of contact while you are arranging your visit, during your stay, and after you’ve returned to your home country.
