Our Culture

Philanthropic Efforts

For the greater good, we all find individual ways to improve and enrich our communities.  At OWH, we collectively have supported a variety of organizations in our community that are volunteer based and have missions that include helping those who are less fortunate or those who have been affected by tragedy or disease.  We have members of our staff who have civic roles in their individual communities and we are also proud to be active participants in a variety of professional organizations.
