The Ohio State University Medical Center Service Board

The Ohio State University Medical Center Service Board was founded in 1985. The Service Board’s purpose is to provide support for the patient care, teaching, and research mission of The Ohio State University Medical Center. This is accomplished through fun-raising projects, public relations, and volunteer service for University Hospitals, The Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute, The OSU Hospital East, OSU & Harding Behavioral Healthcare & Medicine, and the College of Medicine. Members work cooperatively with the Volunteer Services Departments. In keeping with the tradition of the University, members benefit from educational symposia and programs on current health and social issues, all a part of The Ohio State University Medical Center’s quest for excellence.

The Service Board Collection is part of the Medical Heritage Center’s archival holdings.
