New to Central Ohio

Greetings and welcome to the Columbus area and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center’s magazine about everyday health issues featuring experts from central Ohio’s only academic medical center.

You'll be pleased to know that among the many decisions you need to make here in your new home, choosing a family physician, a gynecologist or any other medical specialist you may need is easy.

It’s as simple as going to “Find a Doctor” in the Patient Care section of our website medicalcenter.osu.edu, or calling 800- 293-5123.

 We are very proud to have been recognized as central Ohio’s best hospital in the most recent U.S.News & World Report listing of “America’s Best Hospitals.” Seven medical programs ranked among the nation’s 25 best programs within their respective specialties. We’ve been included in this prestigious listing, which is based on several criteria including patient safety and mortality, for 19 years in a row.

We are also proud to be one of central Ohio’s “Best Places to Work,” an award we’ve received five years in a row based on the comments and votes of our own faculty and staff. Happy employees make happy patients, and we are dedicated to both.

As an academic medical center, we're constantly developing new and better ways to prevent, diagnose and treat injury and disease. We are national leaders in personalized health care. A new form of healthcare delivery based on each individual's unique characteristics, personalized health care emphasizes prevention and wellness. Read more about it here.

We look forward to serving you and your family.

Steven Gabbe, MD, CEO, of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
