The University of Texas at Austin is launching its planned academic medical center with the help of a $100 million gift from Austin residents Tench and Simone Coxe. The new UT medical center integrates the work of the University’s academic and research enterprise, its Dell Medical School and UT MD Anderson cancer care. 

A key component of the medical center will be a new UT hospital development focused on complex and serious conditions, combined with the world-renowned UT MD Anderson Cancer Center’s expansion to Austin. In a region where the rate of people leaving the area to seek care for serious medical needs is as high as 25 percent, the medical center will be part of an integrated academic health system bringing advanced treatments closer to home for Central Texans. 

The health system also includes UT’s existing outpatient clinics, Dell Medical School, and its affiliated partnerships, including with Ascension’s Dell Seton and Dell Children’s medical centers, as well as with Central Health and CommUnityCare Health Centers.
