Hospitals Honored for Pediatric Care

Three Ohio hospitals earned spots on Newsweek’s Best Children’s Hospitals of 2025 list, recognizing stellar pediatric care.

Akron Children’s Hospital, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, and Cleveland Clinic Children’s were among the 50 national honorees. See the full list here.

The rankings were based on employee surveys, hospital quality metrics, patient satisfaction scores, and patient-reported outcomes across eight pediatric fields.

Former Orchestra Leader Dies

Famed conductor Christoph von Dohnányi, who led the Cleveland Orchestra from 1984 to 2002, died this past weekend in Munich, Germany. He was 95.

In 2011, Dohnányi said of the orchestra: “The real, very special (characteristic) about the Cleveland Orchestra is that people, musicians, are used to listening to each other very much.”

Born in Berlin in 1929, Dohnányi came from a family active in the German resistance. His father was executed by the Nazi regime in 1945.

After World War II, he studied composition, piano, and conducting at the Munich Conservatory and worked as a stage extra and house pianist at the Munich Opera.

Rock Hall Ranked Top Specialty Museum

The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland was ranked Ohio’s best specialty museum, based on an analysis of Tripadvisor reviews. See the full rankings here.

Rounding out the top five were the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force in Dayton, the A Christmas Story house in Cleveland, the American Sign Museum in Cincinnati, and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton.

The Rock Hall opened on Sept. 2, 1995, with inaugural performances by James Brown, Bob Dylan, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and more.

The National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, founded in 1923, is considered the world’s oldest and largest military aviation museum.
