UT Southwestern president Daniel Podolsky said: "The William P Clements Jr University Hospital represents an enormously important step for the medical centre."
"The hospital is a vehicle for our physicians, nurses, and staff to provide the best possible care and experience for patients by bringing together our three-part mission: excellence in patient care, the education and training of current and future caregivers, and research that improves the care and health of people everywhere."
The hospital is named in honour of former Texas governor William P Clements Jr, who contributed $100m for the development of the facility.
