William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital, a tertiary referral center for patients with complex disorders, opened in December 2014 in a newly constructed state-of-the-art facility. The building housed 460 single-patient rooms, and contains more than 35,000 square feet of space dedicated to research and learning, including the Education and Conference Center, a high-tech space for conferences, symposiums, and demonstrations. A third tower was added to CUH which opened in December 2020. This increased the total beds from 460 to 750 beds.
Teaching services include general medicine ward, ACE (Acute Care of the Elderly) team, MICU,cardiology, advanced heart failure, GI/liver team (IBD, liver transplant), and hematology/oncology.

Rotating here also allows residents to experience a different hospital system than that of Parkland, granting them exposure to various aspects of healthcare.
