As a researcher who focuses on how breast cancer cells grow and metastasize to the brain, Gina Sizemore, PhD, seeks to understand how these roving cells cleverly overcome the body’s natural safeguards and weasel their way into places they shouldn’t be. Because once they’re in, they’re very difficult to treat.

Welcome back to school, Columbus City School students! 📚 Our team from The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center Healthy Community Center joined teachers, staff, and volunteers for the clap-in this morning at Champion Middle School on the Near East Side. It’s moments like these that remind us how important it is to lift each other up and show our young people that we’re all in their corner. Bonus: I also got to see my dear friend Malissa Thomas-St.Clair , Math teacher extraordinaire!

On any given day at the Immunotherapy Management Clinic, Dr. Alexa Meara and her team see everything from patients with joints so swollen they can’t walk to those experiencing skin rashes and sores. With the constraint of keeping the patient on the cancer medication, her goal is to determine what medication or lifestyle modification will reduce or cure a patient’s symptoms. Each case typically takes some trial and error, but the results can feel like a miracle to patients.

Senior Consultant, Team Performance and Execution at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center
It's said that culture is the sum of everything you celebrate minus everything you tolerate. Well, last week, we poured a lot into one side of the equation...we celebrated our impact players! Over 60 leaders and team members were recognized for completing our high potential leader program or for leading a strategic initiative in the hospital this past year. The celebration wouldn't have been complete without the best mascot in the country as well as our furry friends from our Buckeye Paws program. Congrats again to all these team members!

Pelotonia's first Gravel Day ride in 2023, attracted 190 riders who chose between 20-, 30- and 50-mile loops near Nelsonville in rural Athens County. The number of gravel riders is expected to double in this year. “Pelotonia is important to me because it’s something much bigger than any one of us. Seeing this support and connection with the community is so important and a great reminder of why we do what we do."
