UT Health East Texas expands surgical services inside UT Tyler School of Medicine

The University of Texas Health East Texas will be opening eight state-of-the-art operating rooms inside the UT Tyler School of Medicine Building on Nov. 16, continuing to expand surgical care in Tyler. The new approximately $350 million collaborative investment on the firth floor contributes to the UT Tyler School of Medicine, which opened in April, for both clinical and academic purposes. Once open, the facility will also help decongest the UT Health Tyler hospital across the street and give greater access to more patient capacity. UT Health East Texas and UT Tyler partnered to bring the clinical vision to life. “It’s really a great representation of our commitment to both advancing clinical practice and investing in caregivers of the future,” said Jimmy Clark, chief operating officer of UT Health Tyler.
