Over the past two years since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) has been working tirelessly to advocate for our scholars, residents, and alumni.
LECOM Medical Fitness and Wellness Center encourages an active lifestyle throughout our great nation. The primary focus of both events is on the students who will be the future heroes of our healthcare.
We have seen the heightened risk that has faced our medical professionals as they have battled the COVID-19 Virus. They are stalwarts on the front line, providing care to those in need of medical attention and risking their own lives to save others. Our profession is a noble one, and mindful of those currently in the battle, our efforts now will benefit those who will serve in years to come.
All proceeds from the 5K event will benefit the LECOM Student Scholarship Fund, helping to defray the educational costs of our future health care providers from LECOM.
LECOM is an institution that trains Osteopathic Physicians, Pharmacists and Dentists. Since its inception, LECOM has proven itself as an educational institution that encourages and supports its scholars through and beyond their years of study. Our Annual LECOM Student Scholarship Galas are the chief generator of resources that are used to assist students in defraying and offsetting the cost of their medical education. Each year, we raise millions of dollars in scholarship aid for our deserving students.
In a time during which there is an increased need for primary care physicians and in a time of public health crisis, the need for successfully graduated medical practitioners is felt now more intensely than ever before.
