After 50 years in Cincinnati, Shriners Hospitals for Children will move to Dayton

n 2007, Mike Ward's family took in Zaman Hameed, a 16-year-old Iraqi girl who'd been severely burned outside the Green Zone in Baghdad. He said 40 percent of her body was burned, including her face, so he turned to Shriners Hospitals for Children. On Wednesday, Shriners Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Mel Bower announced that Shriners will relocate within Dayton Children's Hospital in Dayton, Ohio, after serving the Cincinnati area for about 50 years. Ward said the move is a loss to the Cincinnati community.
