Last month, association members and community partners gathered at our Annual Celebration to honor those who have shaped our past and celebrate the next generation leading our future.

“Our story is rooted in physician resiliency, innovation, problem solving, and caring deeply about our local community,” CEO Tracy Davidson reflected.

“My question and my challenge, my bold ask to everyone here in the room is: what do we do next? How do we engage more physicians and physician allies in our work? How do we leave a legacy for the students of today, the patients of tomorrow, our families, and our neighbors?”

Thank you for being a part of writing our next chapter in central Ohio. Together, we’re united in advancing health care for our community.
