Michigan Medicine

Michigan Medicine is the medical center of the University of Michigan, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was established in 1850 as the U-M Medical School and has since grown to include the University Hospital, U-M Health System, and Michigan Medicine.

Michigan Medicine is a public university and is a wholly owned academic medical center of the University of Michigan. It consists of the U-M Medical School, which includes faculty group practice and research laboratories, as well as the U-M hospitals and health centers. These include the University of Michigan Hospital, C.S. Mott Children's Hospital, Von Voigtlander Women's Hospital, and approximately 40 health centers and home care services across southeast Michigan. The clinical programs of the U-M School of Nursing are also part of Michigan Medicine.

Michigan Medicine operates as a non-profit organization and uses positive operating margins to fund advancements in patient care, education, research, and facility improvements. It partners with other medical centers and hospitals through the Michigan Health Corporation to provide specialized care throughout the state of Michigan.

The history of Michigan Medicine dates back to 1869 when the University of Michigan opened the first hospital in the country owned and operated by a university. Initially located in a house in Ann Arbor, the hospital moved to a larger building in 1876. In 1891, it relocated to a new set of buildings on Catherine Street. Over the years, Michigan Medicine has expanded and evolved to become a leading medical institution.

With its commitment to excellence and leadership in patient care, research, and education, Michigan Medicine continues to make significant contributions to the field of medicine and serve the healthcare needs of the community.
