University Hospital is the flagship patient care facility of The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. We are a 900-bed hospital that offers patients the latest in care, research and technology. Our specialties include critical care, organ transplantation, women’s health, digestive diseases, minimally invasive surgery, rehabilitation and neurosciences.
A major referral center for patients from Ohio and throughout the Midwest, Ohio State’s University Hospital is consistently recognized as one of America’s Best Hospitals by U.S.News & World Report. In addition to our designation as a Level I Trauma Center, we’re also home to the most advanced intensive care units in the area, including a Level III neonatal intensive care unit and a comprehensive burn center.
University Hospital is unique in the region for many services, including central Ohio’s only adult solid organ transplant program and a groundbreaking Center for Neuromodulation, which pioneers procedures such as deep brain stimulation that can dramatically improve the lives of people with specific neurological and psychiatric symptoms.
