Its existing clinical practice and ambulatory surgery center, previously known as UT Health Austin, will adopt the new name. The practice already provides primary care and specialty services in areas including orthopedics, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, pulmonology and urology.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUT Dell Medicine is changing UT and human health for the better,\u201d said UT Austin President Jim Davis. \u201cThis is a shift in our fundamental nature\u00a0that puts patients at the center. Every patient we care for will be surrounded by the full strength of UT, with all of us working together for them as one team. We are proud to introduce UT Dell Medicine and bring this new model health system to Texas and the world.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dellmed.utexas.edu\/directory\/claudia-f-lucchinetti\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/dellmed.utexas.edu\/directory\/claudia-f-lucchinetti\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Claudia Lucchinetti<\/a>,\u00a0M.D., UT\u2019s executive vice president for medical affairs and the executive leader of UT Dell Medicine, presented the name and logo during an unveiling at the University\u2019s Health Transformation Building, where new signage now displays the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.utexas.edu\/medical-center\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UT Dell Medicine<\/a>\u00a0name. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/ut-dell-medicine-media-event-03-2400x1597.jpg\" alt=\"Claudia Lucchinetti,\u00a0M.D., UT\u2019s executive vice president for medical affairs and the executive leader of UT Dell Medicine.\" class=\"wp-image-169289\"  \/>Claudia Lucchinetti,\u00a0M.D., UT\u2019s executive vice president for medical affairs and the executive leader of UT Dell Medicine. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat brings us together today is more than the unveiling of a new name or identity. It is a shared belief that we can fundamentally change how healthcare is delivered, how discoveries reach patients, and ultimately, what is possible for human health,\u201d Lucchinetti said. UT Dell Medicine puts patients\u2019 needs at the heart of its approach, connecting care across specialties and integrating prevention, treatment and recovery. The system will draw on technology and expertise across UT to recognize changes in health earlier and turn discoveries into better care.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During today\u2019s event, Lucchinetti outlined five areas of focus for UT Dell Medical Center, opening in 2030: cardiovascular, cancer, neurological and transplant care, along with advanced intensive care. Through collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, UT MD Anderson physicians will be embedded directly in care delivery, expanding access to advanced cancer treatments and clinical trials. Once fully operational, UT Dell Medicine plans to double its clinical capability through physicians and advanced practice providers, and more than triple its patient volumes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those plans build on Dell Medical School\u2019s longstanding work across the region, where faculty and learners care for patients in hospitals and clinics through partnerships with Ascension Seton, Central Health and other community organizations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The University of Texas at Austin today introduced UT Dell Medicine, its academic health system, and shared plans&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":478940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-478939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=478939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/478939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/478940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=478939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=478939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=478939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
