Hospitals, doctor offices adjust availability due to winter weather

Jan. 6—Hospitals in the Dayton region are making adjustments to the availability of non-emergency care as snow continues to accumulate and winter weather conditions prompt snow emergencies in local counties.

Dayton Children’s urgent care and Kids Express locations are closed Monday due to the winter storm weather conditions, but emergency departments at its main and south campuses remain open.

For children’s primary care, all Pediatric Associates of Dayton offices are closed today and Dayton Children’s Pediatrics will open at noon on Jan. 6.

If you have an appointment scheduled with a specialty care clinic on Monday, Jan. 6, Dayton Children’s said you will be notified via text or phone call if your appointment needs to be rescheduled. If you have safety concerns with traveling to your appointment in the severe weather, you can call your child’s clinic at 937-641-3000.

Cincinnati Children’s cancelled its in-person, outpatient appointments and walk-in services today. They said they are contacting affected patients and families to reschedule these appointments.

For the adult health systems, some of Premier Health’s physician offices and/or special services are rescheduling appointments, but are otherwise operating normally.

No reports of closures through Kettering Health or Mercy Health have been made. While Kettering Health isn’t cancelling outpatient services across the system, due to the weather and road conditions, patients should call their doctor’s office to check on availability today before heading out for an appointment.

Urgent care locations for Premier Health and Kettering Health remain open.
