Starling Medical College 1848-1907
|
Lyne Starling (1784-1848), a local, wealthy community leader, almost
immediately offered the school $30,000 to build a hospital and medical
school under one roof. For the first time in America, medical education
and patient care were integrated into one facility, a concept which was
years ahead of its time.

In 1848, the school's name became Starling Medical College.
Building of the new facility began in 1849, at State and
Sixth Streets, but was not completed until 1887.

| Dr. Starling Loving (1855-1906), then professor of materia
medica at Starling Medical College, worked to bring the Sisters of the Poor
of St. Francis to Columbus to run the hospital. Dr. Loving's leadership
was instrumental in making the hospital and the related medical school great
successes. In 1865, the hospital became the St. Francis Hospital.

Dr. Loving provided years of valuable service to the medical school.
At various times, he served as trustee, professor and Dean. He later served
