Its roots go back to 1866, with the formation of the Cleveland City Hospital Association, a charitable society designed to provide medical care to Cleveland&#039;s poor. The association&#039;s hospital quickly outgrew its original facilities and in 1876 moved into the Marine Hospital at East 9th Street and Lakeside Avenue. Eventually it became known as Lakeside Hospital and, in 1895, was affiliated with Western Reserve University&#039;s Medical Department.<br />\r\n<br />\r\nIn 1925, Lakeside Hospital formally merged with Maternity Hospital and Babies &amp; Children&#039;s Hospital - two other Cleveland medical institutions that formed around the turn of the century with the aid of charitable contributions. This merger created University Hospitals of Cleveland and led to the development of new medical programs, services, and facilities throughout the greater Cleveland area. Much of the new construction occurred in University Circle, where University Hospital&#039;s main campus remains today.  <br />\r\n","sponsor":null,"accessinfo":"","lede":null,"website":"<a href=\"https://www.uhhospitals.org\">www.uhhospitals.org</a>","related_resources":["\"<a href=\"https://case.edu/ech/articles/u/university-hospitals-cleveland-medical-center\">University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center.</a>\" <em>Encyclopedia of Cleveland History.</em>"],"factoids":[],"files":{"https://www.clevelandhistorical.org/files/fullsize/universityhospitals2_47a0028091.jpg":{"id":457,"mime-type":"image/jpeg","title":"Hanna House, 1930","description":"The Hanna House medical facility, located in University Circle, opened in 1931.
