Great cities have great academic-based health centers. Cincinnati is no different. The integration of services provided by University Hospital and the UC College of Medicine is the living proof.
Nationally recognized patient care is delivered by University Hospital. The UC College of Medicine is a recognized leader in physician education. The volume and quality of research dollars attracted to this region by UC College of Medicine doctors and researchers is among the highest in the nation.
University Hospital, through its connection to UC, aids in the recruitment and retention of top doctors to our region who work to care for patients and deliver scientific breakthroughs. University Hospital is also an economic engine that provides more than 4,300 Cincinnatians with jobs.
As the region’s primary “safety-net” provider, University Hospital provides care for a disproportionate number of uninsured and underinsured patients. In fiscal year 2009, University Hospital provided nearly $100 million in community benefit in the areas of charity care, research, subsidized health services and Medicaid payment shortfalls – a 22 percent increase over fiscal year 2008.
University Hospital and the UC College of Medicine provide living proof every day of the value they deliver in Greater Cincinnati.
