Located in downtown Louisville, its vibrant Health Sciences Center houses the university's schools of medicine, nursing, dentistry and public health and information science and serves as headquarters for the UofL health academic health care system, including UofL Hospital, UofL Health - Jewish Hospital, UofL Health -- Heart Hospital, Brown Cancer Center and UofL Health -- Frazier Rehabilitation Institute. The Shelby Campus, located in eastern Louisville, is home to several university centers, as well as the Shelbyhurst office park for business and technology endeavors.
