Overview |

|
| |
|
|
| The University Health System is currently undertaking an
$899 million dollar Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to increase capacity
maximize efficiencies and improve the patient, visitor and staff experience at
University Hospital and University
Health Center-Downtown. An important
component to this project is a Design Enhancement/ Public Art [DEPA] program
for both sites to incorporate art that inspires the healing process. University
Health System recognizes the role and vitality the cultural arts play in the
life and community of Bexar County and San Antonio and wants to implement a
dynamic program that will be an important element in this growth of the
hospital system. |
