Welcome to the School of Healthcare Business Innovation and Excellence at The University of Toledo

Tremendous advances in healthcare have been achieved through a variety of activities, such as new medicines, breakthrough surgical procedures, medical devices, high-tech diagnostic equipment, innovative treatments, and progressive nursing care.
