In It to Win It at the 2025 PA OlymPAcs

The 2025 PA OlymPAcs is an annual field day style event bringing together PA students from around the state of Ohio for friendly competition and to raise funds for these worthy causes:

• The Ronald McDonald House of Greater Cincinnati - provides short-term room and board to critically ill children and their families while they are receiving care at Cincinnati Children's Hospital
• OAPA Legislative Fund - supports OAPA's efforts to reduce legislative barriers to PA practice to promote quality, accessible, and cost-effective patient care

The event was supported with a lunch sponsorship from Lincoln Memorial University Doctor of Medical Science Program and MedOne Hospital Physicians.

OAPA would like to thank Ohio Dominican University for hosting the event, and also to congratulate them as this year's winning team!
