UTSW Style Guide updated to reflect new Zale Lipshy name

An updated version of the UTSW style guide is now online; replace any hard copies with the new version. The change affects the Hospital entry on page 6: 

New version:

Hospitals: As of September 1, 2019, the Medical Center has a single hospital with two separate locations in the Medical District. Collectively referred to as "William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital" on first reference; on second reference, "Clements University Hospital."

If there is a need to distinguish between the physical locations, individually use the full name of the facility in the first reference: "William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital" and "Zale Lipshy Pavilion – William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital." In the second reference and thereafter, use "Clements University Hospital" for both entities, unless referring to an event or action that occurred within the Zale Lipshy Pavilion; in this case only, "Zale Lipshy Pavilion" is acceptable (see examples below).

For readability in news releases, it is acceptable to use Clements University Hospital in a headline and on first reference if the full name is elsewhere in story.

Examples of use:

  • UTSW faculty physicians offer patient care at UT Southwestern William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital, UTSW clinics, and affiliated institutions; Parkland Health & Hospital System; and Children’s Medical Center Dallas.
  • The Pinnacle of Excellence Award and the Guardian of Excellence Award recognize Zale Lipshy Pavilion – William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital, which is the home of UT Southwestern's Comprehensive Stroke Program. This marks the third consecutive year that Clements University Hospital has won the Pinnacle of Excellence Award.
    • (The hospital won the award.)
  • The stroke patient was treated at Zale Lipshy Pavilion – William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital, which is the home of UT Southwestern's Comprehensive Stroke Program. Facilities at Zale Lipshy Pavilion were recently upgraded to include two new ICU units, donated by the patient’s family.
    • (The new ICUs are physically located in the Zale Lipshy Pavilion building.)
