World-Class Care in the Heart of Texas
The UT Dell Medical Center, the cornerstone of UT Dell Medicine, is an unprecedented opportunity that brings together state-of-the-art clinical care, cutting-edge research and next-generation medical education in the heart of Austin — which, until now, has been the largest U.S. city without an academic health system.
Leveraging the newest commitment from the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation, a billion-dollar academic research enterprise and a historic collaboration with the world-renowned University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, UT is building more than a hospital. We’re creating a seamless, digitally enabled health system — powered by data, AI and innovation — that transforms not only how care is delivered, but how people get and stay healthy.
A New Destination for Health
For too long, many Central Texans have had to travel elsewhere for complex care. That ends here. The UT Dell Medical Center, opening in 2030 on the UT Dell Campus for Advanced Research in North Austin, will deliver cardiovascular, cancer, neurological and transplant care, as well as advanced intensive care across the 406-bed, 2.55-million-square-foot hospital.
By expanding access to lifesaving treatments, attracting the brightest minds in medicine and research, and developing an integrated, person-centered care model, the UT Dell Medical Center transform Austin into a premier destination for health.
Defining the Future, Together
The UT Dell Medical Center unites the strengths of Dell Medical School, UT MD Anderson and UT’s top-ranked programs in engineering, nursing, pharmacy, business and more — creating a comprehensive health system that redefines what’s possible in health care. Here, physicians, researchers and students work side by side to turn bold ideas into breakthroughs that improve lives.
Dell Medical School
Dell Medical School, which welcomed its first class of students more than 10 years ago, is a driving force behind UT Dell Medicine — advancing patient care, pioneering research, and leading innovation in medical education and life sciences entrepreneurship.
UT Dell Medicine
UT Dell Medicine is The University of Texas at Austin’s new academic health system, bringing together advanced discovery and compassionate, individualized care. Building on over a decade of work at Dell Med to advance health transformation, UT Dell Medicine is building a truly integrated, person-centered approach to care with a continued commitment to precision, whole-person health.
“This is Texas doing what only Texas can do.
We have a generational opportunity to reimagine what it means to be a patient, to train future doctors and to innovate and build for a future shaped by the greatest acceleration in knowledge and technology in human history.
The potential for impact is bigger, even, than Texas. This changes the world.”– Claudia Lucchinetti, M.D.
