🔬 Medical research has historically excluded women from clinical trials, leaving significant gaps in understanding how drugs, treatments, and illnesses uniquely affect women.

We are digging into how this exclusion came to be and what’s changing today. Policies once intended to protect women led to a lack of data, contributing to delayed care, sometimes unsafe treatments and overlooked conditions. This history highlights the importance of inclusive research to support healthier communities.

Read the blog article to learn more about the history of women’s exclusion from medical research and how to advocate for equitable, personalized care. https://ohlth.co/4dDOQfb

At just 18 years old, Emily Christopherson is already making a lasting impact at OhioHealth Shelby Hospital.

From preparing patient rooms to offering a reassuring smile, Emily shows up every shift ready to help and, more importantly, to listen. Through OhioHealth’s Work-Based Learning Program, she’s gaining hands-on experience while building meaningful connections with patients and her care team.

“I think one of the greatest things I’ve learned here is how to work one on one with somebody to make sure they’re feeling heard and what they need is met,” said Christopherson.

And people are noticing.

After going above and beyond for a patient and their family, Emily was nominated for and earned the Bee Award, which recognizes associates who go beyond their role to deliver exceptional care and compassion. She’s the first high school student at Shelby Hospital and just the second across OhioHealth to receive the honor.
It’s an incredible milestone, but for Emily, it’s just the beginning. With her sights set on becoming a nurse, she’s already proving she has the heart and dedication to get there.

“We are investing in the future of care in Ontario by bringing more services, more access and more support for families right here at home.” — Dr. Curt Gingrich, MD, president of OhioHealth Mansfield and Shelby Hospitals

OhioHealth and Nationwide Children’s are partnering on a new state-of-the-art outpatient medical campus that will expand access to care for families across north central Ohio — bringing more services, more providers and more support closer to home.

From primary care and OB/GYN services to advanced imaging and women’s health, this investment reflects our continued commitment to providing high-quality, patient-centered care right where people live, work and raise their families.

We’re proud to continue building healthier communities together.
