Biographical History

The Cincinnati Branch Hospital for Contagious Diseases was opened in 1879. Fifteen tuberculosis patients at Cincinnati General Hospital (now University of Cincinnati Medical Center) were transferred to the new Branch Hospital. In 1912, the Branch Hospital was separated from Cincinnati General Hospital and became the Cincinnati Tubercular Hospital. In 1927, Hamilton County took over operation of the hospital. In 1945, the complex was renamed Dunham Hospital in honor of Dr. Henry Kennon Dunham. Due to a decline in patients and public need, Dunham Hospital closed in 1971.
