Join us in welcoming The Aid Station - Running Supply to the Wooster Chamber!

The Aid Station is Wooster’s only independently owned specialty running and walking shop - built by locals who live, run, and raise a family right here in Wayne County. They’re here for those who move with purpose, whether that’s running roads, chasing trails, walking daily, or lining up in spikes. Their lineup is intentionally different, featuring a curated mix of premium and emerging brands you won’t see in big-box stores. Inside, they pair that with real service - 3D foot mapping and gait analysis—to get you dialed in, not just sold to. More than a store, this is a hub for group runs, events, and a community that actually shows up for each other. The Aid Station exists to support, challenge, and connect right here in Wooster.

Huge thanks to Dr. Robert J. Csorba with MedPro Group for speaking at our Safety Council meeting this week.

We took a deep dive into the effects of drugs in the workplace—from the "bottom line" costs to navigating new state regulations. We also appreciated a quick briefing from Stacy Harrington with the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC), who shared information on the Substance Use Prevention and Recovery (SUPR) program.

We are proud to provide our members with the expert resources and state-backed programs needed to stay compliant and keep employees safe.
