Susan G. Komen® Columbus, a longtime
supporter of our Community Health Program’s
efforts to improve women’s health in southern
Ohio, awarded the college its largest Komen
grant to date: $195,000 for the Healthy Adult
Project: Breast Education Screening & Navigation
Program, with an additional $40,000 awarded
later in the year. This program targets medically
underserved women in 18 Appalachian Ohio
counties, with a goal of increasing access
to breast health services and aiding in early
detection of breast cancer. Since 2001, Komen
Columbus has provided over $1 million in grant
funding to the program.

INNOVATIVE, ACCELERATED MEDICAL TRAINING
The Transformative Care Continuum accelerates training from medical
school through residency, with deep experiences with patients, health
care delivery teams and community health at its foundation. Last year,
faculty made final preparations to launch the program, and we recruited
the first cohort of eight students, who will begin orientation in August
2018 and complete residency by 2024. Students will be embedded into
Cleveland Clinic Lakewood Family Health Center or Cleveland Clinic
Akron General Hospital just before they officially begin medical school,
and they will progress at that same site through to graduation, residency
and board certification. Cleveland Clinic has partnered with us to
develop and deliver this demonstration project, which is also supported
by the American Medical Association’s Accelerating Change in Medical
Education Consortium.
