Southwestern) is one of the leading medical education and biomedical research institutions in the United
States. With more than 2 million outpatient visits and nearly 91,000 hospitalized patients annually, UT
Southwestern has continued to expand its medical facilities to accommodate demand. As part of its
expansion effort, a new $800-million facility — The UT Southwestern William P. Clements Jr.
University Hospital — was recently completed.

The new hospital was designed with a focus on the most effective and innovative ways to

also includes:

•24 surgical suites

•72 adult ICU rooms

•30 neonatal ICU rooms

•40 emergency department rooms

•16 labor and delivery rooms
