The Family Resource Center: A Home Inside a Hospital
The Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation Family Resource Center was designed by families and professionals to support patients and families during their time at Children’s Hospital, both inpatient and outpatient. It is located on the green path, close to the chapel, which allows families to quickly access all major public areas of the building. In honor of their multi-year commitment to the work being done at Nationwide Children’s Hospital, the Center was named The Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation Family Resource Center. The space was designed to replicate the colors and overall atmosphere of Nationwide Arena, home to the Columbus Blue Jackets. The Family Resource Center is staffed Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and weekends from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. After-hours access is not permitted at this time. If you need to contact the Family Resource Center, please call (614) 722-2252.
