Health Services Management and Policy (HSMP) Alumni Society - About
About the Society
The goal of the HSMP Alumni Society is to anchor our alumni community.
The society is open to all graduates of the Ohio State Health Services Management & Policy program (stemming back to the class of 1971) and offers numerous opportunities to connect with other alumni across the world, including the Management Institute signature conference, networking events, and a regional ambassador program.
