At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we’re proud to be a part of a leading public research university with a land-grant mission to serve the people of Ohio.

This academic partnership sets us apart from other Ohio health systems, and provides the foundation for us to reshape and transform health care during this time of rapid change and growth. As part of The Ohio State University’s strategic plan framework, we have a new, 10-year strategic plan called “Impact 2035” that includes a shared purpose with these three components:

  • World-class care for every person, every time. Central Ohio is expected to grow by as many as a million people over the next decade or so. As a land grant institution, the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center holds a responsibility to serve the needs of our growing region.
  • Relentless innovation to improve lives. As an academic medical center, we use the power of research and innovation to drive discovery that impacts the health and well-being of all Ohioans.
  • The best place to work and learn. The opportunities to thrive at Ohio State are boundless. We achieve and exceed together as Buckeyes through a collaborative, inclusive and caring culture.
