Philanthropy Elevates Our Mission

Dear Friends: As a generous supporter of UT Southwestern, you enhance the incredible work of our faculty in their efforts to address some of the greatest challenges in science and medicine.

Thank you for helping us advance our core mission to improve health that enables individuals to achieve their full potential.

We are excited to share with you the inaugural issue of Pathways, a quarterly publication that was conceived through feedback from donors like you. Your partnership with UTSW has made a collective impact, resulting in many significant achievements. Our scientists continue to make important discoveries across a broad range of areas – from basic principles of cell function to those that tie very closely to current clinical challenges. Brain science continues to remain a top priority at UTSW, where state-of-the-art technologies enable us to treat diseases and restore health in ways we never thought possible. Your support for the expansion of William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital will help us become a destination for people facing serious brain disorders – and become their beacon of hope.

Thanks to you, we have gained momentum in all important areas of discovery and health care despite living and working through the most challenging health crisis of our time. You helped us rise to the challenge of COVID-19. With nearly 300 research projects launched and more than 26 clinical trials in the works, together we are advancing the understanding and treatment of COVID-19, deploying vaccine distribution, caring for patients, and getting the community on a path back to normalcy.

The pandemic has only crystallized what we knew about the remarkable public health needs of our region and state. We have all learned valuable lessons about the weaknesses in our health care system and how we can improve public health. Your gifts help ensure that every person who seeks care at UTSW receives the highest level of patient-centered care.

You are part of a remarkable chapter in the story of UT Southwestern. We appreciate the important role you play in the totality of our success to deliver on our mission.
