What and where was the first university hospital in the USA?

Answer 1

Univ. of Michigan
In 1869, a professor’s house (built 1840) on the central campus square was adapted for use as the University Hospital, called the Pavilion Hospital after it was enlarged in 1876. It was the first hospital in the United States owned and operated by a university. Surgical operations were performed in the upper lecture room of the Medical Building until an operating room was added to the hospital in 1879. An eye and ear ward was added in 1881, and by 1882 the hospital and nearby boarding houses were overcrowded with patients. The pavilion extensions were built of wood, so that they could be easily burned down to halt the spread of possible infection and disease.

I believe it was College of Philadelphia, which is now University of Pennsylvania. It was established in 1765.
