  • Goal 3: Advance the University: Establish and sustain the University as a model community for health and wellness.
  • Goal 4: Become an Ohio and national resource: Become a resource for Ohio and the nation for documentation of the economic, social and quality-of-life benefits of prevention, health promotion, effective health communication and healthy lifestyles.
