OCOM Is Helping Shape
the Future of Healthcare

As Horizon West continues to grow, so does its reputation as a destination for education, innovation, and healthcare excellence. One of the biggest examples is Orlando College of Osteopathic Medicine, Central Florida’s newest medical school located right here in the community.

OCOM is focused on training caring, compassionate osteopathic physicians who will make an impact both locally and globally. Their mission centers around whole-person care while preparing future doctors to meet the evolving healthcare needs of tomorrow and serve diverse communities with skill and empathy.

What makes OCOM especially exciting for Horizon West is the way it connects with the local community. Through partnerships like the Wednesday Run Club with Clean Eatz in Winter Garden, happening every Wednesday from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM, OCOM is helping create a culture centered around wellness, movement, and connection.

Horizon West has become a place where future physicians and community life grow together, strengthening the region’s commitment to health, education, and quality of life.
