One of the area’s top healthcare systems, University Hospitals (UH) is continually striving to provide the highest quality, most advanced medical care to patients through a network of more than 150 locations across northern Ohio. University Hospitals embraces the region’s largest web of primary care physician outpatient centers and hospitals, while also providing sites supplying services for specialty care, skilled nursing, senior healthcare, rehabilitation, home care and occupational health. The network also encompasses the most comprehensive behavioral health services in this part of Ohio.
UH Case Medical Center was established in 1866 and evolved into one of the nation’s premier academic medical centers. In 1993, Case Medical Center was transformed again from a solitary academic medical center into the extensive University Hospitals network, incorporating six wholly-owned community hospitals, numerous outpatient health centers across the region and several joint venture hospitals and other facilities. The 1,032-bed UH Case Medical Center, in conjunction with its primary teaching affiliate, the esteemed Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, forms the largest site in the state for biomedical research. Incorporated into UH are Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital – listed among the finest hospitals in the nation dedicated to children – the highly-rated Ireland Cancer Center and the MacDonald Women’s Hospital – Ohio’s sole hospital for women. About 24,000 physicians and employees comprise the UH network, which sees more than 4.5 million outpatient visits and close to 60,000 hospital discharges annually.
UH Case Medical Center was acknowledged for excellence in U.S. News & World Report’s America’s Best Hospitals 2007, with top rankings in six categories: cancer, endocrinology, geriatrics, neurology and neurosurgery, orthopedics and urology.
Presently, University Hospitals is undergoing major developments through its ambitious strategic plan, Vision 2010. This plan involves a $1 billion-plus investment over five years through the addition of facilities and the expansion of offerings on its main campus, along with the construction of new centers and improvements to its suburban ambulatory centers.
