The University of Akron Economics Department

Event Recap! 🎤📊🏛️

Thank you to all of our incredible panelists, our moderator, and everyone who attended the 2026 Ohio Economic Forum!

It was a pleasure hosting this year’s conversation as OEF 2026 explored how rising healthcare costs, growing medical needs, and policy incentives are shaping Ohio’s healthcare landscape. Attendees gained valuable insight into how smarter decisions and targeted reforms can build a stronger, more resilient system for all Ohioans.

Good luck on finals, Zips!📝
