Big news for Health Impact Ohio!

We’re proud to work alongside the CVS Health Foundation, which is investing $2.24 million to launch a new Health Zone in Columbus with HIO and the Central Ohio Pathways HUB. This support expands our Community Health Worker–led model, helping more residents access health care, reduce emergency care utilization and support residents with chronic and behavioral health conditions.

Together, we’re strengthening care coordination and building healthier, more resilient communities on the south and east sides of Columbus.

🌟Staff Spotlight: Meet Ms. A'yanna! 🌟

Ms. A'yanna is in her first year as the Program Director in St. Vincent Prep Academy! Her compassion shows up in every conversation, her dedication shapes her decisions, and her clinical expertise strengthens the program’s forward growth. She leads with heart, advocates for children, and inspires others to do the same. 💚

"Serving as Program Director for Prep Academy has reinforced why I entered this field. Day treatment requires intention, structure, and heart. Our students deserve environments that are both therapeutic and academically grounded, and our team works hard to provide both.

Through strong collaboration and consistent expectations, we create stability for students who need it most. I am proud of the direction Prep Academy is moving and grateful for the team that shows up each day for our students."

Thank you to Ms. A'yanna and the Prep Academy team for all they do to support our youth! 💡
