A key component of The Ohio State University, one of the nation’s premier public research universities, the Ohio State Wexner Medical Center is driven by its mission to improve health in Ohio, and across the world, through innovation in research, education, and patient care. It is one of the largest, and most diverse academic medical centers in the country, and the only one in central Ohio, and is aspiring to take a regional, national, and international leadership position in several clinical areas of distinctiveness, including cancer, heart, neurology, transplantation, diabetes, musculoskeletal, digestive diseases, and critical care.

The Wexner Medical Center seeks a strategic, growth-focused and collaborative leader to serve as its next Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
