UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas has announced it will name its new University Hospital, which is currently under construction, after former Texas Gov. William P. Clements Jr., who passed away last year.
The William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital is scheduled to open in late 2014 and will replace the St. Paul University Hospital facility, which opened in 1963. In 2009, Mr. Clements donated $100 million to the Southwestern Medical Foundation, the largest single gift for the benefit of UT Southwestern in the institution's history. UT Southwestern has raised an additional $73 million through 30 additional gifts as part of its fundraising campaign for the new hospital.
The $800 million, 460-bed hospital will feature 27 surgical suites, state-of-the art patient rooms and a patient-centered design.
Mr. Clements served as Texas governor from 1979 to 1983 and from 1987 to 1991.
