Ohio Medical University 1892-1907
Ohio Medical University purchased a large lot on Park Street (then Front
Street) facing Goodale Park to erect a new school building. The medical
school then donated an adjacent lot on the south, as well as $5,000, to the
Protestant Hospital Association to erect a hospital so medical students
would have access to clinical facilities. Protestant Hospital, also known
as White Cross Hospital, was the forerunner of Riverside Methodist
Hospital. | |

In the spring of 1907, negotiations were completed for the merger of
Starling Medical College and the Ohio Medical University to form
Starling-Ohio Medical College. In 1914, the school became a college within
The Ohio State University.
