Celebrating Health System and Nurses Week 2025!
Dear Colleagues,
May 5-9, 2025, UTMB celebrates National Health System Week and Nurses Week.
This year’s theme, “There’s No Place Like Health Care,” reminds us how meaningful and impactful your work truly is. Whether you provide care in our hospitals, clinics, correctional managed care facilities, or support patients and teams behind the scenes, each of you brings heart, dedication, and courage to our mission—just like the heroes of Oz, you make magic happen every day.
Your compassion, professionalism, and commitment to excellence are what make UTMB feel like home for our patients and their families. We simply couldn’t provide Best Care without you.
We hope you’re able to take part in the festivities happening across our four campuses or celebrate in your own way with your team. Wherever you are, please take a moment to reflect on the incredible role you play in our health system.
Thank you for all that you do—because truly, there’s no place like health care… and no team like ours.
In this special video, UTMB team members from across the Health System share—from the heart—why UTMB feel like home.
