New in 2023: The Community Outreach Committee

The Academy’s Community Outreach Committee, under the leadership of Rebecca Short, MD, was proud to make headway in its inaugural year with the aim of taking thoughtful action to support the health of Cincinnati’s community. 

We utilized Academy networking events as a platform to highlight noteworthy causes and collect small donations. Our 50 Year Physician Awards Luncheon, for example, hosted a drive for underserved seniors.

We also sought ways to utilize our unique roles as physicians to educate on health literacy.

The Community Outreach Committee was proud to wrap up 2023 by sponsoring Bethany House, an organization providing comprehensive family-centered homelessness services for over 40 years. Through our end of year drive, we provided several "Bethany Basics" kits to furnish new homes for families transitioning from homelessness.
