Vision: Make Greater Stark County Schools the healthiest in the state of Ohio by the year 2032.

Mission: To improve the overall health and well-being of youth by implementing ongoing health promotion and prevention, resulting in a healthier community.

The Aultman Ambassador Program (AAP) is a youth-led engagement program that supports Aultman’s Mission of leading our community to improved health by reaching beyond the hospital walls impacting youth and staff at the school including their peers, families, and community. The program instills sustainable healthy behaviors and habits for overall health and wellbeing and to guide and sustain a healthy school culture. The AAP provides an opportunity to empower high school students to be Aultman Ambassadors to engage their peers, families, and communities in promoting sustainable, healthy lifestyle changes. AAP utilizes the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child Model and the Ohio Adult Allies framework, tools, and resources on the core principles of AAP: Nutrition, Hydration, Physical Activity, Sleep and Stress. 

The following are the Guiding Principles that all initiatives and projects within the Aultman Ambassador Program are expected to abide by: Aultman Ambassador Guiding Principles.

The Aultman Ambassador Program has partnered with schools, colleges and universities in Stark, Wayne, Tuscarawas and Mahoning counties.
