COLUMBUS — The Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and OhioHealth announced today they have signed a definitive agreement that recognizes OhioHealth as the preeminent education partner for the college’s new central Ohio extension campus in Dublin.
According to a news release from OU, the affiliation will be referred to as the “Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine, in affiliation with OhioHealth.” The newly signed affiliation will build on a long-standing relationship between the two institutions who have partnered to train generations of physicians over the past 35 years.
OU says leaders of the college and the health system see this formal agreement as a logical next step that supports the strategic mission of both institutions. This agreement does not affect OU-HCOM’s and OhioHealth’s training relationships with other institutions.

The city of Dublin has introduced legislation to donate two parcels of land totaling more than 70 acres near Route 33 in Franklin County to Ohio University for use surrounding its proposed Central Ohio medical college campus.
As The Messenger reported last May, OU’s College of Osteopathic Medicine received a $105 million gift from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations — the largest private donation given to a college or university in the state’s history. The money is to be used to address the shortage of primary care physicians and to expand diabetes research.
The gift led OU to rename its medical college the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine.

Breast cancer screenings for poor women in Southeast Ohio are no longer in question thanks to a major donor’s reversing a controversial decision.
The Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation announced Friday that it was reversing its decision to halt funding to Planned Parenthood for breast cancer screenings. The decision came after outcry across multiple social-media platforms from both Komen and Planned Parenthood supporters.
Komen recently adopted a new policy that would block funding to any organization under investigation by local, state or federal authorities. Komen said it ceased funding to Planned Parenthood because the organization was the subject of an investigation after a Florida congressman accused the group of using public funds for abortions, according to the Associated Press.

Cannabis Care: College-kid tested, doctor approved
As two issues to legalize medical marijuana work their way toward November’s ballot, multiple groups supporting the charge are hoping to light up support at Ohio University.
If either issue passes, it will make Ohio the 17th state to legalize medical marijuana — allowing Ohioans with qualifying medical conditions to buy, possess and grow the herb for medical purposes.
The Ohio Alternative Treatment Amendment, which has been gathering signatures since November, defines specific rules and regulations about possible medical marijuana use.
