Good morning, Meigs County. A decade of healthcare transformation is being celebrated at Ohio University's Cleveland medical campus, where 340 new physicians have graduated since its founding—59% of whom now practice in northeast Ohio. This partnership with Cleveland Clinic has grown into the state's largest public medical school, addressing critical primary care shortages through innovative programs that strengthen healthcare access throughout the region.
In a touching display of gratitude, medical students recently honored those who made the ultimate educational contribution—their bodies. The annual Body Donor Memorial brought together students, faculty and families to reflect on these first "patients" who taught lessons in both anatomy and humanity. Meanwhile, Mid-Ohio Valley Regional Airport faces unexpected turbulence as Air Wisconsin abruptly canceled its service before even beginning, citing a "change in strategic direction" that leaves local travelers awaiting confirmation of Skywest's takeover.
