The hospital is the property of the University and is under the exclusive control
of its Medical Faculty. It was designed and is administered as a teaching hospital,
being so arranged that free use can be made of its clinical material without
in any way disturbing or violating the privacy of other patients.
The buildings are arranged upon the pavilion system, consisting of a central
structure, four stories in height, to which have been added up to the present
time three additional units of three stories each. The central building is largely
devoted to administrative purposes and general service departments, but also contains
an amphitheater and suite of private operating rooms, sterilizing and anesthetizing
rooms. The three pavilions are connected with the main building by
corridors on each floor. In these are located the wards and suites of rooms for
private patients. As at present constituted, the hospital has a capacity of about
200 beds; of these, upwards of 160 are available and used for clinical teaching.
The north pavilion contains, in addition to quarters for ward and private
patients, on the first floor, a specially designated series of laboratory rooms,
which have been equipped with new and modern furnishings and apparatus
throughout. The basement floor is devoted in large part to the Out-Patient Department
of the Hospital. Here separate waiting rooms for white and colored
patients are provided, examining rooms for medical cases, operating rooms for
minor surgery, specially equipped rooms for genito-urinary and orthopedic surgery
and for the treatment of diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. On the
same floor is the Roentgen Ray Department of the hospital.
Attention is particularly called to the fact that the hospital, with its associated
Out-Patient Department, constitutes a most valuable adjunct to the teaching
facilities of the Department of Medicine. The size of the clinic permits the
presentation of a wide variety of cases, and the organization of the hospital as
an integral part of the Medical Department affords exceptional facilities for
thorough study of the individual case.
The location of the University Hospital is a most favorable one, being situated
at the intersection of two great railway trunk lines near the geographical
available as a source of clinical material, both in the wards and the Out-Patient
Department. The hospital is thus enabled to serve a large area of the State,
and the transportation facilities are such that this service includes a progressively
increasing number of emergency cases and cases of acute illness.
