The top local stories this evening from the KERA Newsroom: Dallas has been a medical construction zone for a couple of years now. 

UT Southwestern opened its $800 million Clements Hospital in December. Down the street, the new $1.3 billion Parkland Memorial Hospital will start seeing patients in August.

Dallas Morning News architecture critic Mark Lamster says despite their high-tech gadgets, both hospitals need a little human touch.

You can listen to the top local news stories weekdays at 6:20 p.m. and 8:20 a.m. on KERA 90.1 FM.
