150 Years of the University of Michigan's Academic Medical Center

What we now know as Michigan Medicine, the University of Michigan's academic medical center, began 150 years ago in Ann Arbor. In late 1869, U-M opened the nation's first university-owned hospital, to care for patients receiving care from professors at the Medical School. From those roots, U-M has developed one of the largest, busiest, most well-regarded academic medical centers in the world, with a consistent mission of advancing patient care, medical education, and life sciences research.
