Advancing physician and patient health through expertise and giving.
We are the philanthropic arm of the Ohio State Medical Association (OSMA).
Funded by generous donations from physicians, corporations, grants, and other benefactors,
we work to advance the healthcare system and impact overall public health in Ohio.
Initiatives to Support
Help us advance healthcare and impact public health in Ohio. We believe that the practice of medicine functions best when it helps make Ohio communities healthier, and when physician physicians are well-supported and able to do their best work.
