The hospital is currently running on generator power. Critical services, including emergency room care, trauma, emergency surgery and CT services, are still operating as normal.

All cancelled surgeries will be rescheduled.

Several other facilities in the Dayton Children's network also are without power, including its outpatient pavilion at its main campus, its home care center and its employee health center.
