Michigan Medicine, Ann Arbor

Welcome to Michigan Medicine, the dynamic heart of the University of Michigan’s academic medical centre. Founded in 1850 with the establishment of its Medical School and later hosting the nation’s first university-operated hospital in 1869, this institution marries historic significance with cutting-edge care. What began as a modest medical facility beside the Diag has grown into a 128-acre main campus comprising multiple specialized hospitals, research towers, and outpatient clinics spread throughout southeast Michigan.

Visitors will notice the impressive campus layout anchored by the University Hospital, a 550-bed adult care centre opened in 1986, and the C.S. Mott Children’s and Von Voigtlander Women’s Hospital, a striking twelve-floor facility inaugurated in 2011-one of the largest children’s hospitals in the U.S. with fully private patient rooms and a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center. Other remarkable structures include the Rogel Cancer Center-an NCI-designated comprehensive centre since 1991-and the Samuel and Jean Frankel Cardiovascular Center, offering expansive cardiac care and research.

More than a hospital system, Michigan Medicine is a bustling hub of education and innovation. The Medical School houses thousands of students, residents, and fellows and supports wide-ranging graduate training across MD, PhD, and Master’s programs. Research thrives across the BSRB, Kellogg Eye Center, and North Campus Research Complex, showcasing a dedication to interdisciplinary science and a portfolio of breakthrough achievements, from ophthalmology to stem-cell biology.

As you stroll through its innovative buildings and green plazas, Michigan Medicine offers more than medical excellence-it invites you into a community defined by transformation.
