By the time this issue of Impact hits newsstands, UTMB will have safely transferred 185 patients from adult medical, surgical and intensive care units in John Sealy Hospital to their new rooms in Jennie Sealy Hospital. We have for many years looked forward to the day when Jennie Sealy would be open to patients, and we can now look forward to serving patients and their families there well into the future. You can read more about the hospital on page 11.
But we aren’t done growing. Our hospital and emergency department
on the League City Campus are set to open in early June. Check iUTMB for information on
the May 3 ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours of this newest UTMB inpatient facility.
In the meantime, this issue is full of stories about how our people are advancing our mission.
