Husted emphasized that Cleveland is setting a strong example for the rest of the country when it comes to preparing future health care workers and pushing forward with cutting-edge medical studies.

He pointed to the partnership between universities and hospital systems as a key factor in keeping Ohio competitive. The senator also noted that investments in education and research help build a stronger workforce, which in turn supports economic growth across the state.
