DCY Announces Child Wellness Campuses

Governor Mike DeWine and the Ohio Department of Children and Youth (DCY) have announced funding support for six child wellness campuses across Ohio. The campuses will provide short-term, therapeutic care for children and youth with complex needs, helping keep them closer to their families, schools, and communities.
