What Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics (Ohio AAP) does

Ohio Chapter, American Academy of Pediatrics (Ohio AAP) is a nonprofit professional membership organization serving approximately 2,900 Ohio-based pediatricians and pediatric residents. Founded in 1934 as the state-level chapter of the national American Academy of Pediatrics, the organization is headquartered at 94-A Northwoods Blvd in Columbus, Ohio, with 11-50 staff supporting its programmatic and advocacy mission. For over 85 years, it has functioned as the principal convener and representative body for pediatricians in the state, delivering continuing medical education (CME/MOC credit), quality improvement programs, advocacy at the Ohio legislature, and child health initiatives that the organization reports have directly impacted over 1 million children annually.

The organization's core offerings are organized around a member platform that combines education, advocacy, and program delivery. Its technology footprint is modest and operational rather than product-oriented: a web-based member portal, the MOBI/TIES Portal for trainers, and the OPPAL PCP Portal supporting a psychiatric consultation line staffed weekdays 9:30am-4:30pm at 614-605-1511. Notable programs include OPPAL (Ohio Pediatric Psychiatry Access Line), which delivers real-time psychiatric clinical guidance to pediatric primary care providers; Store It Safe (SIS), a firearm safety and suicide prevention program established in 2015 and operating in 15 designated Ohio communities; Care2, a quality improvement initiative implemented in 45+ Ohio practices; and Put a Lid On It!, a bike helmet safety program. The organization also publishes Ohio Pediatrics magazine and convenes an Annual Meeting and Foundation Luncheon.

Ohio AAP operates a diversified nonprofit revenue model spanning five streams: recurring membership dues, one-time event registration and exhibitor/sponsorship fees, tax-deductible donations to its 501(c)(3) Ohio AAP Foundation (Tax ID 31-1700823), and government grants. Its largest disclosed grant is a HRSA award funding approximately 41.8% of OPPAL's total costs, amounting to $1,957,032. Pricing for non-member Annual Meeting attendance is $190; exhibitor sponsorship tiers range from $500 (non-profit single-day rate) to $10,000 (All-Star); Foundation Luncheon sponsorships run from free individual admission to $5,000 (All-Star Level); and the Pediatric Partnership Network membership is priced at $5,000 (or $4,500 with exhibitor discount). Members receive free Annual Meeting access as a core benefit. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and an Executive Director, with no external equity ownership, reflecting its nonprofit membership-association structure.
