How will the donations be used?
Ballad Health has committed to bolstering the infant and children’s services available in this region through the work of the Ballad Health Niswonger Children’s Network, a regionwide system of healthcare and community services that raise the bar for quality healthcare for the children of the Appalachian Highlands.
Among the planned investments is the expansion and renovation at Niswonger Children’s Hospital, which recently began the first phase of construction. The expansion consists of the updating of an attached medical office building to house a new institute – the J.D. Nicewonder Family Perinatal and Pediatric Institute. The newly-established institute will create a regionwide opportunity to serve children with complex medical needs through more coordinated care between multiple specialists, while also creating a clearinghouse for public educational service and participation in research and training.
