CELEBRATING 75 YEARS GIVING MEANING TO GENEROSITY
2015 ANNUAL REVIEW
Building a Great Medical Center in the Southwestern United States. Seventy-five years ago, the founders of Southwestern Medical Foundation posed a challenging and compelling question: Why not a great medical center in the Southwestern United States?
It was a bold vision. In 1939, Dallas, one of the region’s leading cities, could not claim even adequate medical education or health care to serve its growing population. Yet, over the course of the decades and with the support of far-sighted philanthropists, greatness has been achieved. In 1943, the Foundation began Southwestern Medical College, which evolved into today’s world-renowned UT Southwestern Medical Center. It was private philanthropy that first made our institutions possible and it is private philanthropy that remains vital in sustaining excellence.

Initiatives that build a better future It is difficult to narrow down the tremendous impact of Southwestern Medical Foundation. One of the benefits in advancing research is playing a real part in the fight against brain illness, cancer, heart disease and so many other patient conditions. As the primary philanthropic partner to UT Southwestern, the Foundation plays a key role in supporting the work that requires funding for faculty, for students and for patients. The leadership, energy, support and generosity of private philanthropy and civic leaders have provided an unmatched advantage in building the highest quality care possible for our community.

“THE IMPACT THROUGH THE DISCOVERIES THAT HAVE BEEN MADE HERE… HAS TOUCHED THE LIVES OF COUNTLESS INDIVIDUALS.”
Steven McKnight, Ph.D. Chairman of Biochemistry, UT Southwestern

Dr. Helen Hobbs is building on the Nobel-winning work of UT Southwestern Drs. Joseph Goldstein and Michael Brown to help create the next generation of anti-cholesterol drugs. In recognition of this work, she received the prestigious 2016 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences.
Dr. Steven McKnight is one of the preeminent researchers contributing to advancing the diagnosis and treatment of brain injury. His team discovered a drug that essentially boosts the production of brain cells, a process known as neuroregeneration. This discovery is so groundbreaking it has attracted additional investment from Calico, the biomedical arm of Google.
Research Highlights Bruce Beutler, M.D. Director, Center for the Genetics of Host Defense, UT Southwestern
Eric Olson, Ph.D. Chairman of Molecular Biology, UT Southwestern
2011 Nobel Prize Winner Dr. Bruce Beutler is engaged in a project to identify the function of every human gene. Dr. Beutler has already discovered functions that were completely unanticipated and the roles they play in a number of diseases including diabetes. This new technology will provide essential insight into the causes and treatments of many diseases.
Dr. Eric Olson’s recent discoveries have paved the way for correcting the gene responsible for muscular dystrophy. He and his team have used the CRISPR gene-editing technique to stop the progression of Duchenne muscular dystrophy in mice, and this technique could lead to one of the first successful genome editing-based treatments for this fatal disease in people.

Engaging the Community in Conversation In September 2015, as part of the Leading the Conversation on Health series, Southwestern Medical Foundation hosted “What’s Next? The Newest in Neuroscience: Confronting Alzheimer’s Disease” with Dr. Marc Diamond, Director of the Center for Alzheimer’s and Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Critical investments in neuroscience will help in prevention and advance cures for disorders of the brain:
The Campaign for the Brain
Alzheimer’s and neurodegenerative disease Autism and developmental disorders Brain cancer Depression and mental illness Epilepsy Movement disorders Multiple sclerosis Muscle and nerve disorders Pain and headache Sleep disorders Spinal cord injury and regeneration Stroke and cerebrovascular disease Traumatic brain injury
Some 50 million Americans suffer from brain-related diseases – traumatic, degenerative, psychiatric and developmental. This represents an economic burden estimated at nearly $1 trillion, and suffering, for patients and caregivers, that cannot be quantified. Rapid progress in brain imaging is now making it possible for researchers to unravel the mysteries of the brain – work that will improve how injury and diseases of the brain can be prevented or diagnosed and treated. Indeed, the next decade can be as fruitful in brain science as the 1980s were for cardiovascular research, when work at UT Southwestern led to the discovery of statins and to two Nobel Prizes.

In 2015, the University of Texas System Board of Regents approved the establishment of the Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute at UT Southwestern Medical Center. A $36 million gift from the O’Donnell Foundation enabled UT Southwestern to create this new Institute. Southwestern Medical Foundation is committed to supporting the Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute in its efforts to advance neuroscience. Honorary Trustee Lyda Hill and others with deep associations with the Foundation are making critical investments in the effort.

Foundation Trustee Julie Hersh is President of the Hersh Foundation. In 2015, the Hersh Foundation made a $5 million lead gift to help establish the Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care at UT Southwestern, and to endow the Julie K. Hersh Chair in Depression Research and Clinical Care. The goal of the Center is to accelerate new discoveries to understand the causes and treatment of depression and other mood disorders.
At UT Southwestern, extraordinary talent is committed to the understanding and eventual treatment of brain illness and brain injury. How remarkable that labs in Dallas will help unlock the chains of mental illness, ameliorate a child’s autism and perhaps provide insights that prevent Alzheimer’s. Julie and Ken Hersh

2015 Foundation Highlights
Together with UT Southwestern, Southwestern Medical Foundation formed The Cary Council to create a greater awareness of the mission of the Foundation and the Medical Center among young professionals and emerging community leaders.
“We thank the generous donors, board members, honorary trustees, officers, community leaders and other friends who share the Foundation’s vision of support for academic medicine and who make an impactful difference in the health of our community and worldwide.” Robert B. Rowling C H A I R M A N
In January 2015, we held a grand 75th anniversary celebration at the Winspear Opera House in the Dallas Arts District, commemorating the lasting legacy of Southwestern Medical Foundation and – most of all – thanking donors for their work and immensely important insight and support. In honor of our 75th year, the Foundation made a gift of $7.5 million to further UT Southwestern’s leadership in neuroscience.
At our Annual Trustees Meeting in May, our Trustees awarded the Ho Din Award – the Foundation’s highest honor given to a student who embodies wisdom, human understanding and compassion – to Dr. Laurie Seidel. The Foundation also added 14 exemplary business and philanthropic leaders to the Board of Trustees. 2015-2016 New Trustees: Charles Anderson Leland R. Burk Richard W. Fisher Marshal D.

In July, Southwestern Medical Foundation moved our offices to Parkland Hall on the campus of the magnificently renovated Old Parkland. Our new office is on the site of the original Southwestern Medical College – the medical school started by the Foundation in 1943, which became UT Southwestern.
2015 was the first full-year of operation for the state-of-the-art William P. Clements Jr. University Hospital (WPCUH). Over the year, the Foundation continued to manage pledges, receivables and quarterly distributions for the WPCUH Campaign. In addition to the extraordinary gift from Governor Clements of $100 million, almost $70 million in WPCUH Campaign contributions and pledges have been managed by the Foundation since 2010.
