The New Franklin County Health Map

Benhur Ayettey

The new Franklin County Health Map – the first since 2022 – is expected to provide Central Ohio hospitals, health departments, and key community organizations with a critical tool to better understand the health needs and priorities of Central Ohioans. The last comprehensive Health Map – completed three years ago – revealed deep disparities in health outcomes and a critical need for new resources, especially to support better nutrition, infant care, and mental health. What progress has been made since then? With an expert panel, we’ll unpack the results of the new 2025 Franklin County Health Map for a look at what’s worked since the last comprehensive study and the work that remains to keep Central Ohioans healthy.

Featuring Joe Mazzola, Franklin County Health Commissioner; Dr. Mysheika W. Roberts, Health Commissioner, Columbus Public Health; Dr. Andrew Thomas, Chief Clinical Officer, The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, and with moderator Tracy Townsend, Anchor, 10TV News This Morning and Medical Correspondent.
