Hundreds of attendees spend day discussing issues with goal of creating healthy communities.

From wellness and well-being to addiction and recovery to solutions and a commitment to do better, the 2018 Buckeye Summit focused on supporting and building a healthier world.

Richard Carmona, 17th surgeon general of the United States and distinguished professor at the College of Nursing, moderated the summit and discussed the personal challenge of leading a healthier lifestyle.

More than 400 alumni, faculty, staff, students and supporters filled a conference room at COSI Columbus Friday to discuss some of the great health challenges of the 21st century. The summit focused on building a healthier community – and for the audience, community meant their homes, central Ohio and the larger world.

Guests were entertained by a fitness course from Shelley Meyer, instructor of clinical practice at the College of Nursing, and a session on mindfulness from Maryanna Klatt, professor of clinical family medicine at the Wexner Medical Center.
