CLASS OF 2021 TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF GRADUATES WHO STAY IN OHIO TO PRACTICE, WE RECRUIT FROM OHIO. 249 STUDENTS 92% FROM OHIO OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE RECOGNITION MONTH In April 2017, we celebrated this inaugural event, thanks to the efforts of Terry Johnson, D.O., a 1991 Heritage College graduate and state representative for Ohio’s 90th House District. In 2016 Johnson put forth House Bill 352 designating April as Osteopathic Medicine Recognition Month in the state, as an acknowledgment of the 40th anniversary of our founding and “in honor of the significant contributions made by the osteopathic field of medicine to improve the health of Ohioans.” The bill was passed unanimously in both houses of the Ohio General Assembly.
