STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
OPTIMIZED STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Our college and our communities succeed when our students succeed. We
want our students to graduate with a strong connection to the college, less debt and the
means to maintain their health and wellness. We create Heritage College experiences that
value students’ strengths, build resilience, support lifelong learning and develop students
as health care team members and leaders for Ohio and our nation.
TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION
Innovative educational experiences transform our students. Our graduates
reach their individual potential and are prepared to excel in any care environment
because of the powerful education we provide. Our investment in training the next
generation of physician leaders addresses anticipated physician shortages and health
care needs in chronically underserved communities.
COLLABORATIVE RESEARCH & SCHOLARLY ACTIVITY
Discovery drives medical advances. Our research is stronger when we work
together on diverse teams within our college, alongside our communities and with
our partners. Excellence in our research programs ultimately leads to improved
health and quality of life for vulnerable populations in our state and throughout
the nation and the world.
COMMUNITY IMPACT & ENRICHMENT
COLLEGE
STRATEGY
By 2021, increase the
proportion of graduates
who enter primary care
practice from 50% to 65%
and increase the proportion
of graduates who enter
high-need specialties,
particularly in regions of
greatest need within Ohio
and beyond.
Community care comes first. Our partnerships, community outreach,
educational programs and the efforts of our graduates improve the health and
well-being of citizens in Ohio and in communities across the nation, especially
where care is needed most.
ALL-CAMPUS SUCCESS FOR WORKPLACE & OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE
A best place to work and learn. This is our touchstone as we cultivate an engaging
and supportive work climate and ensure that our operations are aligned, integrated and
efficient. We strive to position ourselves to offer the finest education at a competitive
cost and to recruit and retain diverse and talented students, faculty and staff.
