Dr. Rothenberg has been working as a cardiologist in Cincinnati since 2006 and taking care of the former North Presbyterian Church since 2022.
This building was selected after a city-wide search for the perfect location for the Heart of Northside. It needed to be centrally located, easily accessible, in a community that could really use these resources, and it needed a big, flat roof.
The plan is to add structural reinforcements and cover it with a rooftop garden and solar panels. The produce will be harvested and used in our teaching kitchen, to help our neighbors learn to grow and cook delicious, healthy, plant-based meals, and the resulting dishes can be served at events hosted in our space. All of the parts will work together to support community health!
The former church is an anchor on Hamilton Ave. and continues to serve the community as a venue for weddings, lectures, concerts, and other events. Event booking fees help to offset the costs of maintaining the building, and help support our mission of a heart-healthy Northside.
