Across Ohio, there are physicians speaking up for their patients and their communities every single day.
Sometimes in exam rooms.
Sometimes in board rooms.
Sometimes at the Statehouse.
The OSMA Physician Advocate Award recognizes physicians who step up and advocate for patients, colleagues, and the future of medicine in Ohio.
