Dublin student named 2016 Welch Scholar
Lacey N. Ruppert, a student in the class of 2018 at the Heritage College, Dublin, has been named the college's Welch Scholar for 2016.
The Welch Scholar grant is named in honor of Sterling Welch, D.O., for his generosity to the American Osteopathic Foundation and his desire to support osteopathic medical students and promote education.
Welch Scholars receive monetary support to help defer costs during their education. They are chosen because of their outstanding academic achievement, participation in extracurricular activities, strong commitment toward osteopathic medicine, and financial need.

Student chosen as 2016-17 Schweitzer Fellow
Scott McLemore, a student in the class of 2019 at the Heritage College, Dublin, has been selected as a 2016-17 Albert Schweitzer Fellow by the Columbus-Athens Schweitzer Fellows Program, one of 15 chapters nationwide.
The Schweitzer Fellows program selects and supports about 250 U.S. graduate students each year, with 18 coming from Athens-Columbus. Each of these fellows partners with a community-based organization to create and carry out a yearlong service project to address unmet health needs. The participants also go through a rigorous leadership development program. McLemore's project, based at the Columbus free clinic Physicians Care Connection, seeks to help patients who have been screened as being food insecure. "My role is to connect those patients to mid-Ohio food bank pantries to receive produce," he explained. "The clinic primarily serves patients who live in food deserts without realistically accessible grocery stores."

New on Heritage College blog
In celebration of our 40th anniversary year, the Heritage College has launched the Ohio University Medicine blog, where we'll share stories about the people and programs who helped us get where we are today, as well as our ideas and initiatives for the future.
Recent posts include:
Forty years after Ron Moomaw, D.O. ('80), began his studies as a member of the Heritage College's first incoming class, he returned to camps to address our 2016 graduates. Watch a video of his speech and view photos from the day's activities.
Our faculty have been making important research discoveries practically since the college opened its doors. Learn more about a major advance in genetic engineering that took place here in the early days.
In celebration of our 40th anniversary, resolutions recognizing our service to the state were presented in both the Ohio House and Senate April 20, and a proclamation from the governor was presented during an evening reception in the Statehouse rotunda. See photos of the day's activities.
Before consumers could easily access health news with a click of a mouse or a swipe on their smartphone, Family Health radio offered listeners timely, practical health information, thanks to the vision and support of many champions within the college. Learn more about this program, which at its height played on 250 radio stations throughout the U.S. and worldwide.
