George V. Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service
Ohio University’s George V. Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service is more than a think-tank. While other organizations are thinking about the big problems, we’re developing research-based solutions to challenges facing communities, the economy and the environment. The Voinovich School is a leader in addressing these “wicked problems” facing Ohio, and then scaling these solutions across the whole of Appalachia. The Voinovich School’s distinction among public service schools is its ability to build partnerships with nonprofit organizations, government and industry to boost our resources and expand our impact. This enables us to further enhance public value, using an innovative approach to economic growth and opportunity, social impact and sustainability, and leadership and community building.

Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine
At the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, care is at the heart of who we are. With a commitment to collaboration and a focus on osteopathic medicine, we train future primary care physicians and specialists to treat the whole patient, immersing them in osteopathic philosophy and practice from their very first days. Our approach to medicine and patient care emphasizes physician-patient relationships; prioritizes prevention and wellness; and considers a patient’s environment, beliefs, and values in their diagnosis, treatment, and care. Ultimately, we’re transforming how the next generation of health care leaders learn and how they deliver care to diverse patient populations.
