OUR ROAD MAP
The 2018-2021 Heritage College Strategic Plan acts as a road map to guide the college
to critical milestones over the next three years, positioning the Heritage College for
even greater success over the next 10 years.
In late 2016, we began developing this new plan using our 2015-2017 Heritage College
Strategic Plan as the foundation to ensure our continuing success in training primary
care physicians for Ohio. An experienced consulting firm facilitated the process. Our
students, faculty, staff and external stakeholders participated in interviews, planning
sessions and surveys to provide valuable feedback as we assessed the existing plan and
determined our new goals.
We retained the four priorities of the 2015-2017 strategic plan: Transformative Education,
Collaborative Research, Community Impact and All-Campus Success. All-Campus Success
now has two parts – Workplace Excellence and Operational Excellence – and we added a
new priority, Optimized Student Experience. These five priorities support a common goal:
To increase the proportion of our graduates who enter primary care practice, especially in Ohio.
