Think of all the people who made an impact when you or your loved one needed care.
Doctors, nurses, researchers, therapists, and so many more.
These professionals are the heart and soul of health care.
Every day, patients and their families benefit from the quality care provided by the dedicated caregivers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center – Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute (OSUCCC – James), The Ohio State University College of Medicine and The Ohio State University College of Nursing.
We unite once a year to honor these caregivers who bring hope to the healing process, discover effective new therapies, and educate the next generation of medical professionals.
