Our Optimal Health, Ohio

Our Optimal Health (OOH) is addressing the need for new approaches to the provision of health care in Franklin County, Ohio. It is fostering a community dialogue that will identify innovations to assure the delivery of affordable and sustainable health care to its community.

Our Optimal Health is a complex and multi-layered effort. It was established following a series of events that generated discussions among community leaders about how the people of Franklin County might be able to create a new response to a potentially impending health care implosion.

The Community’s Vision (what is desired for our community)

The purpose of the health care system is to provide affordable & sustainable health care that supports optimal health & wellness for everyone in our community.

Our Mission (why Our Optimal Health exists)

To connect conversations, support collective actions, and advance learning to achieve the community’s vision.

Our Optimal Health Principles

• We believe that it makes sense to bring stakeholders together in conversation to co-create and co-learn when seeking new solutions for the common good.
• We respect and honor the perspective of everyone in our community.
• We create opportunities for all perspectives to be shared/heard.
• We trust the collective wisdom of our community.
• We continually evaluate what we learn and achieve.

Our Optimal Health will be hosting a session on June 24 at ALIA in a Day to share their experience of how a small group can catalyze systemic change in healthcare. They will also be sharing their learning and exploring the next phase of their work together throughout the Core Program and particularly during the Innovation Marketplace.
