UT SOUTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL
UT Southwestern University Hospital is located at 5909 Harry Hines Blvd. (northwest corner of Harry Hines Boulevard and Inwood Road). The hospital operates 271 staffed beds with specialties in cardiology, emergency medicine, internal medicine, general surgery, obstetrics/gynecology and orthopedics.

Emergency Room
Our 29-room Emergency Department is continuously staffed by physicians from EmCare for patients with urgent medical conditions. If you are experiencing a life-threatening medical problem, call 911 immediately or go directly to our emergency room location.

Heart-Failure Unit
The hospital operates a specialized 22-bed, heart-failure unit that provides focused care to patients with this condition. 

Heart and Lung Transplant Program
Recognized for premier cardiovascular and pulmonary services, UT Southwestern's Heart and Lung Transplant Program is located in the UT Southwestern University Hospital building.

UT Southwestern physicians provide expert medical and pre- and post-surgical management of patients who are awaiting, or who have undergone, heart and/or lung transplantation. More than 300 heart transplants have been performed since the inception of the program in 1988. Survival rates for the first three years after transplantation are among the best in the country.

The lung component of the transplant program began in 1990. Physicians here have been especially successful in offering transplantation to patients with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease resulting in progressive lung destruction. The pulmonary division, with its pulmonary function laboratory, has physicians on staff with experience in managing cystic fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial fibrosis and pulmonary neuromuscular diseases.

Neonatal Intensive Care
UT Southwestern offers Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) care and technology for at-risk newborns. The unit is staffed by physicians from Pediatrix and includes a special suite where parents stay overnight and prepare to care for their baby before leaving the hospital.
