Academic pediatric hospital and research institute with 16,000+ staff across 50+ Ohio locations
Nationwide Children's operates a sprawling health system spanning clinical care, research, and medical education. The stack reveals a healthcare IT organization in transition: legacy infrastructure (Unix, AIX, Windows XP, Oracle) dominates, but adoption of Epic Systems, AWS, and modern web tools (React, Blazer, Power BI) signals an infrastructure modernization effort. Hiring skews overwhelmingly clinical (764 healthcare roles) with minimal engineering capacity (22 roles), suggesting technology is sourced, managed, or outsourced rather than built in-house.
Notable leadership hires: Medical Director, Neonatal ECMO Director, Section Chief, Fundraising Director, Administrative Lead
