Nationwide Children's Hospital-Toledo announced on Monday, June 9, 2025, that it will appeal a court decision to terminate its proposed affiliation agreement, known as Toledo for Kids, with ProMedica. The hospital stated that concerns raised about anti-trust issues are "false." Mercy Health had filed a lawsuit alleging that the Toledo for Kids agreement violated a previous contract. Dr. Mills of Nationwide Children's emphasized the hospital's commitment to transparency and dedication to the community, families, and patients in downtown Toledo. Ms. Strauss added that she does not anticipate any problems regarding the continuity of care for children as a result of the ongoing legal dispute. The article also referenced a past Federal Trade Commission decision in 2011 that halted a proposed merger between ProMedica and St. Luke's Hospital, citing reduced competition and potential price increases.

ProMedica Russell J. Ebeid Children's Hospital has introduced a new, specialized ambulance dedicated to transporting newborns and infants requiring neonatal intensive care. Unveiled on June 4, 2025, this state-of-the-art NICU transport ambulance is expected to significantly improve emergency response times and enhance the care for the region's most vulnerable patients. The custom-designed ambulance is stationed at ProMedica Toledo Hospital and will be used for newborns weighing up to 10 pounds who need specialized medical attention. ProMedica anticipates that the faster deployment capabilities of this dedicated ambulance will help close critical time gaps and lead to better outcomes for newborns in distress. The NICU at ProMedica Russell J. Ebeid Children's Hospital is already recognized nationally for its high level of care for premature infants and those with complex health needs, and this new ambulance further solidifies its role as a key center for neonatal excellence in the area. The ambulance is equipped with an onboard incubator offering temperature regulation and safety restraints, as well as easy access for clinical staff. It also carries emergency medications, real-time monitoring systems, and neonatal ventilators designed for premature and low-birthweight infants. According to a ProMedica official, having a dedicated NICU transport unit is not common among hospital systems, and this addition allows ProMedica to provide this level of care not only within the hospital but also during transport.
