The University of Cincinnati celebrates this week's Bearcat Friday winner.
The University of Cincinnati Department of Athletics developed a way for businesses and campus offices around the country to join in on the fun and show their pride for the University. Bearcats Fridays is scheduled to run throughout the year. Over the last seven months over 35 companies and 6200 employees across the country are involved in this program.
THIS WEEK's BEARCATS FRIDAY WINNER IS UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL! The BEARCAT mascot visited University Hospital today to deliver UC gear to employees wearing red and black. Over 100 employees attended the event to support UC by wearing their BEARCAT RED & BLACK.
"As the single largest outside organization affiliated with UC, we felt it was important that we show our support for this outstanding organization," said Lee Ann Liska, Executive Director and Senior Vice President, University Hospital.
University Hospital has provided the Greater Cincinnati region, nation and even the world with high-quality, compassionate care, cutting-edge research and education for over 183 years. University Hospital has been consistently ranked by U.S. News and World Report as one of "America's Best Hospitals." In 2007, the Endocrinology and Urology programs at University Hospital ranked in the top 50 programs in the nation. This is the eighth consecutive year the hospital has ranked in the listing. University Hospital is located at 234 Goodman Street Cincinnati, Ohio 45219. For more information, please call 513-584-1000.
