Administrative History Clinical teaching had proven to complicate partnerships between medical schools and major teaching hospitals when the hospitals were independent from the larger university. In Loyola’s case, the relationship between Loyola’s medical school and Mercy Hospital in the late-1950s. A medical center with a major hospital under Loyola’s direct authority would provide more academic and clinical stability for the medical school than an affiliation with a separate medical entity. Being outside of Loyola’s direct control or ownership, Mercy’s physicians retained control over hospital patient admissions and hesitated to hospitalize their patients in Loyola-affiliated hospitals. Without patients, the teaching hospital and medical school both suffered academically. The most direct solution to this instability was for Loyola University to establish its own teaching hospital. In June 1959, the partnership between Mercy Hospital and Loyola University was officially ended thus beginning the project of creating a new teaching hospital of their own. After obtaining approximately 61 acres of property near Maywood that had previously belonged to the Hines Veterans Administration Hospital in 1962, the Medical Center was finally becoming a reality. In addition to the process of building the physical facilities, Loyola’s trustees had also started to plan how the Medical Center’s Loyola University Medical Center: Office of the Provost records, 1965-2000 Page 1 Archives & Special Collections administration would be organized. In 1965, the trustees studied administrative arrangements in the medical centers of other universities before ultimately deciding to fold the Medical Center into Loyola’s established academic organization. The responsibilities of the University’s Vice President and Dean of Faculties, a position then held by Father Robert Mulligan, SJ, were expanded to allow oversight of all university faculty and academic matters including those of Loyola’s medical and dental programs. The deans of the medical and dental schools would report to two direct superiors; the Vice President for the Medical Center for all areas exclusive of faculty and academic affairs and the Vice President and Dean of Faculties for all academic and faculty related matters. In 1969, Mulligan went on sabbatical and then transferred to Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio. The position of Vice President and Dean of Faculties was then held by Richard A. Matré, PhD until 1979 when University President Father Raymond C. Baumhart, SJ, created the position of Provost and Chief Administrative Officer for the Medical Center. The Office of the Provost at Loyola University’s Medical Center was established to oversee all academic and faculty affairs pertaining to its medical and dental programs. The first individual to hold this position was Richard A. Matré, PhD, who had served as Loyola’s Vice President and Dean of Faculties 1969 until 1979 when he was appointed by University President Father Raymond C. Baumhart, SJ, to be the Medical Center’s first Provost and Chief Administrative Officer. Matré held the role of Provost for the Medical Center until 1989 when he was appointed to Loyola’s Board of Trustees and succeeded by Anthony Barbato, MD as Provost for the Medical Center. In 1994, the title of the position was changed from Provost for the Medical Center to Executive Vice President for the Medical Center. The position was renamed again in the following years to Senior Vice President for Health Sciences. In 2006, Barbato stepped down as Vice President for Health Sciences and the position was filled by Paul K. Whelton, MB, MD, MSc, who held the position until 2011. In 2011, Loyola’s medical campus was renamed the Health Sciences Campus following the consolidation of Loyola University Health System with Trinity Health. That same year, Richard L. Gamelli, MD, FACS, was appointed to the newly renamed position of Senior Vice President and Provost for the Health Sciences Division. Following Gamelli’s retirement in the fall of 2014, Linda Brubaker, MD, MS was appointed Interim Provost for the Health Sciences Division by Loyola’s President and CEO, Michael J. Garanzini, SJ. In 2015, Margaret Faut Callahan assumed the role of Provost for the Health Sciences Division and continues there to this day. The Health Sciences Division is the branch of Loyola University dedicated to education and research in health care and includes the Marcella Niehoff School of Nursing, the Stritch School of Medicine, and the biomedical programs of The Graduate School. Also incorporated in the Health Sciences Division are several research institutes such as the Burn and Shock Trauma Research Institute, Cardiovascular Research Institute, Infectious Disease and Immunology Research Institute, Oncology Research Institute, Institute for Transformative Interprofessional Education, and the Neiswanger Loyola University Medical Center: Office of the Provost records, 1965-2000 Page 2 Archives & Special Collections Institute for Bioethics.
