The Ohio Children’s Alliance’s System of Care Summit brings leaders, professionals, and community partners from across Ohio together to turn shared insight into meaningful action for children, youth, and families. The Summit builds on five regional community conversations led by the Alliance in 2026, where local partners shared what they are experiencing, how needs are evolving, and where opportunities exist to strengthen the systems supporting Ohio’s children and families.
Now, those local perspectives come together at a statewide gathering designed to elevate what is working, address shared challenges, and shape the next phase of system improvement. Through keynote presentations, panel discussions, educational sessions, and networking opportunities, the Summit will connect diverse voices, highlight effective approaches, and help translate community-driven insight into practical action and policy recommendations.
