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 AND 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 AND ENRICHMENT
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 AND 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.
