OU med school receives $105M

Ohio University will use a $105 million donation, the largest private gift in the school's history, to build a medical college in Columbus to help fill a growing shortage of family physicians.

The donation from the Osteopathic Heritage Foundations, which is also the largest gift ever given to an Ohio university, will pay about a third of the projected $300 million cost to transform OU's medical school over the next 15 years.
