How you can help

The Department of Otolaryngology has been a distinct academic department since its inception. This long-standing departmental autonomy has provided the opportunity for accelerated growth and expansion of the diverse activities associated with patient care, research and education.

Our department is committed to excellence, and we maintain exceptional national stature among otolaryngology-head and neck surgery departments.

Numerous funds have been established by generous donors. These funds contribute significantly to the Ohio State Department of Otolaryngology's ability to advance its mission and vision. Please consider one of these existing funds or visit our Ways to Give page.
