Nancy Cooper, Health Policy Fellowship Coordinator at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-COM), recently received the Riland Medal for health policy from the New York Institute of Technology (NYIT). Each year, NYIT awards individuals who have shown consistent dedication to medical research, health policy and the osteopathic philosophy. Recipients of the award have pursued health care improvement and are involved in community service.
In her leadership role with the National Health Policy Fellowship program, Cooper has developed in-depth health policy expertise and served as a mentor to many Fellows. In addition, she volunteers as a Court Appointed Special Advocate/Guardian ad Litem (CASA/GAL) for abused and neglected children.
Congratulations, Ms. Cooper!
