As an academic medical center, we are committed to improving access to quality health care. We are creating a better healthcare future for all by breaking down barriers to quality health care, such as access, education, transportation, literacy and fear. Ohio State's Medical Center provides uncompensated medical treatment and compassionate care to the underserved. And our research and clinical trials are creating the future of medicine for all, regardless of ZIP code. Our mission, vision and values are the basis for this commitment, which we realize through:
- Community education, public speaking, classes and student mentorship
- Outreach activities, sponsored events and collaboration with schools and other community organizations
- Preventive screenings and support-group leadership
- Free and reduced-cost clinics
- Community relations professionals that provide consultation to, or representation on, community boards and committees
- Medical education and research that stimulates job growth and economic prosperity
- Monetary contributions, including subsidized health services
