Biography of University Hospital
The history of University Hospital goes back to the founding of the Medical College of Ohio in 1819 by Dr. Daniel Drake. With Drake's support the city of Cincinnati approved the establishment of Commercial Hospital and Lunatic Asylum in 1821. The name was legally changed in 1861 to Commercial Hospital of Cincinnati and again in 1868 to Cincinnati Hospital in 1869 when construction was completed on a new, larger structure. In 1915 another new structure was built by the city and the hospital was renamed Cincinnati General Hospital. In 1960 the University of Cincinnati was given executive control of Cincinnati General Hospital and renamed it University Hospital in 1982. The name was changed to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center in December of 2012.
