Since 1891, when private money built the first hospital in the OhioHealth system, we have directed the community’s outpouring of generosity into excellent care for our patients. This includes funds for research and equipment, education for our medical professionals and effective care environments for everyone.
By investing funds wisely, we are able to strengthen OhioHealth’s mission in four important ways:
Innovation and technology
New medical innovations, cures and solutions allow us to improve our patients’ experiences in ways both big and small.
Research and education
We fund research and education so our healthcare professionals can continually gain new knowledge, and share what they know with their teams and patients.
Infrastructure and facilities
When we keep our buildings up-to-date, efficient and comfortable, our patients feel better faster and our medical teams can focus on care.
Community outreach
OhioHealth knowledge and expertise goes beyond our walls and into our communities, so the people of central Ohio can access the care and knowledge that will keep them healthy.
We support wellness education and programming.
The generosity of our donors has helped our big ideas for making healthcare simple, accessible and affordable in many ways throughout the communities we serve.
