ADDENDUM NO. 4 Renaming of 5th floor
On November 1, 1991 The Board of Trustees resolved that the fifth floor of the University Hospital Clinic was to be named "The William H. Havener Eye Center". This would reflect that the entire floor is devoted to the Department of Opthamology. Havener was the first full time faculty in the Department of Opthamology and served as the chairperson for 27 years. He developed the technique for repairing retinal detachments and it is still the safest and most widely used method today. Under his leadership, residents of OSU's Department of Opthamology were ranked number one in the country by the American Academy of Opthamology in 1991.
Additional University Hospitals Clinic Addenda
This building is now known as Cramblett Hall. According to a news release dated 11/5/99:
"The Ohio State University Hospitals Clinic will become The Henry G. Cramblett Hall following the board's vote today (11/5). Cramblett, of COLUMBUS (43220), was instrumental in the 1974 opening of the clinic, which is adjacent to University Hospitals. Cramblett was dean of The Ohio State University College of Medicine from 1973 to 1980, and served as vice president for health sciences from 1980 to 1982. While at Ohio State, Cramblett obtained funding for the construction of Rhodes Hall in the Medical Center and also worked to secure funding for the Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute. He joined the faculty at Ohio State in 1964 as a professor in the department of pediatrics. He was the founding chair of the department of microbiology, a position he held for seven years until he was named dean. He was acting vice president for medical affairs from 1974 to 1980.
"A nationally recognized specialist in viral and infectious diseases in children, Cramblett conducted basic and clinical research of viral diseases and the uses of antibiotics. He also studied the relationship between infectious diseases and arthritis, and served as director of the research program at Children's Hospital, Columbus.
"University Hospitals Clinic provides outpatient services in more than 50 medical specialties, including obstetrics, neurology, surgery and ophthalmology. Approximately 1,000 patients from throughout Ohio are seen each week in the Clinic by OSU Medical Center physicians."
