The new location is in Centerville in the Sugarcreek Plaza at 6044 Wilmington Pike, Dayton, Ohio 45459.

This is the fifth Kids Express location to open in the Miami Valley, the spokesperson said.

The on-demand pediatric healthcare option can see children from 6 weeks old to 18.

It will be open 7 days a week, Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and over the weekend from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Kids Express utilizes specially trained pediatric nurse practitioners to see patients for common illnesses when their main pediatrician is not available, the spokesperson said.

Kids Express nurse practitioners can treat everyday issues such as:

  • Earaches and ear infections

  • Sinus infection

  • Colds

  • Flu

  • COVID-19 concerns

  • Flu and COVID vaccines

  • Sore, strep throats

  • Minor cuts and bruises (no stitches)

  • Pink eye

  • Rashes, poison ivy, or oak

  • Vomiting, diarrhea

“We know that parents are busy and need options. We also know that when their child gets sick, many times they already have a pretty good idea what is wrong. We wanted to give them an option for care that they can trust is kid-focused but is also easy and fast,” Dayton Children’s Kids Express and urgent care Division Chief Lisa Ziemnik said.
