The Clements University Hospital is the centerpiece of the acclaimed UT Southwestern Medical Center. The teaching and research hospital’s new inpatient tower, designed by Hoefer Welker, adds 291 beds for neurology, brain, spine, oncology and psychiatry services. This expansion developed a 23-bed inpatient behavioral health with an adjacent and secured wellness garden. Thoughtfully designed, the all-private room unit is quiet and calming, with patient-centered spaces that promote well-being and accommodate the use of various proven and emerging treatment modalities.
The unit occupies the fifth floor of the new Tower 3 and provides both inpatient and outpatient treatment. Thoughtfully designed, quiet, calming, patient-centered spaces promote well-being and accommodate the effective use of a wide range of proven and emerging treatment modalities, including Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) while ensuring the highest levels of safety and security protocol for vulnerable populations.
The new unit includes private suites, multipurpose and group therapy rooms, therapist offices, nursing stations, lounges with a home-like feel, and kitchen and dining areas. A landscaped rooftop terrace provides fresh air and daylight to enhance patients’ well-being.
The unit was designed to be flexible for conversion to a medical-surgical unit in the event of a change in census or reimbursement schemes.
