Several parents and their medically fragile children will attend. Following the groundbreaking, there will be tours of the Child Care Center. Medically fragile children are defined as those who rely on prolonged use of medical devices to compensate for loss of vital bodily functions and who require substantial daily skilled nursing care to avert death or disability. It is estimated that there are about 120 medically fragile children in Franklin County, half of whom are under 5 years of age. The grant also covers the cost of equipment and nursing services and will fund an Ohio State research project to measure the financial and other costs to a family with a medically fragile child.
