Thomas F. Zenty III, President and Chief Executive Officer, University Hospitals
Welcome to the Web site for University Hospitals. With our affiliated hospitals, physicians, and caregivers, we are privileged to serve the needs of patients and families at more than 150 locations in Northeast Ohio.
This year, we celebrate 140 years of service to the Greater Cleveland community. Founded in 1866, University Hospitals enjoys a rich history of excellence in clinical innovation, leading-edge medical research and teaching, and the distinction of providing the highest quality patient care to those who turn to us in their time of need.
At the core of our Health System is University Hospitals Case Medical Center (UH CMC). Ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of America's best hospitals in 14 medical and surgical specialties, UH CMC is home to some of the most prestigious clinical and research centers of excellence in the nation and the world, including cancer, pediatrics, women's health, orthopedics and spine, radiology and radiation oncology, neurosurgery and neuroscience, cardiology and cardiovascular surgery, organ transplantation and human genetics.
Our main campus includes the internationally celebrated Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, ranked best in the Midwest and first in the nation for the care of critically ill newborns; MacDonald Women's Hospital, Ohio's only hospital for women; and Ireland Cancer Center, which holds the nation's highest designation by the National Cancer Institute of Comprehensive Cancer Center. We were recently named among the top 40 most integrated health systems in the country by Modern Healthcare magazine.
We are currently implementing our new five-year strategic plan, Vision 2010. This exciting plan features significant building projects, including the creation of a free-standing cancer hospital on the UH CMC campus, a new UHC emergency department, and a new neonatal intensive care unit for Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital.
As the single largest endeavor we have undertaken in our history, Vision 2010 will leave a lasting impression on the region and our Health System for decades to come. More importantly, the effort will allow us to continue our traditions of excellence in patient care, education, research and community service.
We welcome the opportunity to serve you.
