The University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center is a healthcare in Cincinnati, Ohio, and a major source of education, medical care, and research in Greater Cincinnati training health care professionals and providing research and patient care. The Academic Health Center (AHC) consists of multiple University of Cincinnati colleges that are listed below, Hoxworth Blood Center, UC Barrett Cancer Institute, and the programs and institutes at the Reading Campus. The AHC also has strong ties to UC Health, which includes the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, West Chester Hospital, and University of Cincinnati Physicians. The academic health center concept originated with physician Daniel Drake, who founded the Medical College of Ohio, the precursor to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, in 1819. ==History== For most of its history a municipally owned college, in July 1977 the University of Cincinnati joined Ohio's higher education system. In 1982 its teaching hospital, known as the General Hospital and in its present location since 1915, was renamed the University of Cincinnati Hospital, and later changed its name to its current name, University Hospital. In 2003 the name was changed from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center to the University of Cincinnati Academic Health Center to better reflect its missions in education and biomedical research. In 2010, the Academic Health Center became an integral part of the newly formed UC Health organization which also encompasses various entities including UC Physicians, West Chester Hospital, Drake Center, Lindner Center of HOPE, UC Health Surgical Hospital, and the UC Metabolic Diseases Institute. The Academic Health Center's national reputation for biomedical research includes the development of the first live, attenuated polio vaccine by Albert Sabin, MD, who worked on the project at both the University of Cincinnati and the affiliated Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, as well as definitive studies of the health effects of lead in children, and development of the popular antihistamine Benadryl by George Rieveschl, PhD, who was working in the chemistry department of the University of Cincinnati during the time of his discovery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://health.uc.edu/health/aboutus/factsheets.html )〕 Part of the University of Cincinnati, the Academic Health Center comprises several institutions: *College of Allied Health Sciences *College of Medicine *College of Nursing *James L.
