Southwestern Medical Foundation is a public 501(c)(3) organization[1] located in Dallas, Texas. It was established in 1939 by Edward H. Cary, M.D., Karl Hoblitzelle, and a group of Dallas community leaders to promote medical education and research in Dallas and the Southwestern region of the United States.[2]
Establishment of Southwestern Medical College[edit]
In 1943, Southwestern Medical Foundation established Southwestern Medical College.[3] Constructed during World War II, war rationing limited the building materials available. The college operated out of a series of plywood barracks on the campus of the original Parkland Memorial Hospital.
Affiliation with the UT System[edit]
In an effort to affiliate Southwestern Medical College with a state university, Dr. Cary signed over the land, buildings, equipment, and some funds to The University of Texas System.[4] The college was renamed Southwestern Medcial School of The University of Texas before eventually being renamed to what is now the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UT Southwestern or UTSW).
1950–Present[edit]
Following the donation of assets to The University of Texas System, Southwestern Medical Foundation retained some funds to continue operating as an independent public foundation. The foundation has partnered with community leaders over the years on major capital campaigns to assist in the growth of UT Southwestern.
The Foundation currently has an endowment of roughly $1 billion (2022)[5], and contributes to UT Southwestern through grants that support general operations, building expansions, medical research, medical education scholarships, and medical care.
