A founding principle of our planning process was to actively engage faculty and staff through various means, including faculty meetings, town halls, faculty leadership forums, surveys, focus groups and strategy groups that addressed specific issues facing the medical center. The strategic planning process was led by a board oversight group which included members of the medical center's board of trustees, university leaders and medical center leadership.
Additionally, a team of medical center faculty and leaders was formed to help advance the planning process, discuss key strategic issues and gather insight from across the organization to ensure a comprehensive planning process. The Medical Center Board will continue to have an active role alongside medical center leaders to ensure the plan is successfully implemented.
Ohio State Wexner Medical Center has an important role in the success of the university's new strategic plan. One of the core strengths and assets of the medical center is being part of Ohio State — the largest and most comprehensive university in the nation. By being part of the university, the medical center is benefiting from an unlimited supply of innovative thought, research breakthroughs and talent resources that most health organizations do not have access to.
Our people bring the medical center’s plan to life. By bringing together the right talent and the right culture to foster curiosity, collaboration, innovation and discovery, we will move the medical center forward. Our efforts will focus on:

This will require us to be innovative and open to new ideas. Leadership toward sustaining our mission will come from faculty and staff across the medical center as they innovate on how we can build upon our proven track record of operational sustainability. Our efforts will focus on:
Our plan in action:
How will we do it? Where others stop, we keep going. Where others see limitations, we see possibilities. Where others say there is no solution, we work tirelessly until we find one. We break right through obstacles, barriers, conventions, setbacks, distraction, opposition and doubt. When we stay focused and determined and we work together toward common goals, nothing can hold us back. It’s time for Ohio State to break through.
Our facilities must be able to keep up with our unceasing curiosity and ideas for innovation. But we want to aim higher than just keeping up. We want to create environments that inspire new ways of collaborating, new approaches to hurdles and new ideas to explore and evaluate.
