In 1975, the nonprofit Detroit Medical Center Institute for Oncology and Allied Diseases was established, formed from the Wayne State Universityﾒs Division of Conjoint Services and Curricula in Oncology.

The Detroit Medical Center’s (DMC) record of service has provided medical excellence throughout the history of the Metropolitan Detroit area. From the founding of Children’s Hospital in 1886, to the creation of the first mechanical heart at Harper Hospital 50 years ago, to their compassion for the underserved, their legacy of caring is unmatched.
