Personalized Medicine Sets Us Apart
And The Ohio State University Medical Center is taking a leadership role in developing the next step in the future of medicine –
personalized health care. Our commitment to delivering care to meet each person’s unique needs means that:
- We are working with individuals to help them achieve and maintain optimum health
- We are preparing the next generation of healthcare providers to offer a new level of care for their patients
- We are focusing our research in areas that show the most promise for addressing individual aspects of disease and disease prevention
Our six signature programs – Cancer, Critical Care, Heart, Imaging, Neurosciences and Transplantation – and our supporting programs are key to providing science-based and individually tailored patient care to people in central Ohio and beyond. Also positioning us for advancements with personalized health care is our new Biomedical Research Tower (BRT). This impressive structure nearly doubles the amount of biomedical research space at the Medical Center.
The BRT, increased research funding and discoveries, recruitment and retention of acclaimed faculty and staff all underscore OSU Medical Center’s commitment to creating the future of medicine to improve people’s lives. Learn more about how we're serving our community.
