Athens County • September 10, 2025
Good morning, Athens County. A decade of healing deserves celebration in Cleveland, where the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine's campus just marked its 10th anniversary. With 340 graduates and nearly 60% staying to serve northeast Ohio, this milestone highlights how the school has become the largest public medical school in the state. The campus isn't just producing doctorsβit's transforming healthcare education through innovative programs that accelerate training for much-needed family medicine practitioners.
The profound impact of medical education extends beyond classrooms, as evidenced by the moving memorial service where students honored body donors as their "first patients" and greatest teachers. Meanwhile, Bobcat Nation is still buzzing after Ohio's football team stunned West Virginia 17-10 in a historic hometown victory. The record crowd of 26,740 witnessed something special as the MAC underdogs toppled their Big 12 neighbors, celebrating afterward with a playful rendition of "Country Roads" in the locker room.
