New Organizational Structure
Dr. Karen Sexton, interim EVP and CEO, has announced the
interim UTMB Health System
Organizational Chart. Please also see the
Message from
Dr. Sexton.
 Please
join us in welcoming Corrin Le Vasseur as the new Director of
Patient Services.
She received both her Bachelors’ and Master’s
degrees from the University of Texas San Antonio. Bachelors’ degree
is in Biology and Chemistry and her Master’s degree is in Public
Administration with a concentration in Healthcare Administration.
She completed her healthcare administration residency at the
Methodist Healthcare System in San Antonio. Corrin came from the
Cancer Therapy & Research Center in San Antonio where she was the
Director of the Referral Center responsible for patient
satisfaction. Prior to that, she spent seventeen years at the
Methodist Healthcare System in San Antonio. Her last position there
was as the Director of Communications, responsible for twenty-two
facilities including all six hospitals. She was a committee member
for the City-Wide Emergency Disaster Hospital Group and a member of
the Emergency Disaster Preparedness committee at the Methodist
Healthcare System in San Antonio.
As our Patient Services Director, Corrin will
focus not only on responding to patient problems, but in
communicating with our patients upon their contact with UTMB, and
anticipating and resolving problems before they become significant.
Corrin can be reached at the Patient Services
Department, 772-1993, or via
email at
cllevass@utmb.edu.
Blood donors urgently needed: Alternative sources in short supply
If you would like to donate blood to save lives, please come to the
Donor Room, 1.120 John Sealy Annex.
The blood bank operates from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday, Wednesday
and Friday, and from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday.
Donating blood is a simple procedure that can take place in less than
an hour. You can speed up the process by making an appointment with the
blood bank. Upon arrival, you will be asked to fill out a donor card.
Then, a staff member will meet with you privately to evaluate your
medical history, check your pulse, temperature, blood pressure, and test your blood to
determine eligibility.
Donating blood typically takes 7-10 minutes. Donors
may read or watch television during the procedure. Only one pint of
blood is taken and donors are offered refreshments before they leave.
For more information or to make an appointment, please call the blood
bank at ext. 24861.
Patient Safety
A
commitment to ensuring quality patient care and patient safety has been
a driving force in my professional life. I believe that patient care and
safety must be paramount in all that we do, and we work hard at our
institution to maintain this focus. Our employees have a charge to help
us with this responsibility, and there are internal policies, procedures
and resources in place for any situation involving a patient care or
patient safety concern. Read rest

 As
a member of the UTMB family, when you swap your role of “employee” for
that of “patient,” you have a unique and valuable perspective. It’s very
helpful when you share that perspective-UTMB works to continually
improve its service to you and to our other patients. If you or an
immediate family member recently had a clinic visit at UTMB, please take
a few moments to complete this
simple and short survey. It’s web-based, secure, and administered by
UTMB to assess the clinical experiences of our staff and students. Visit
the FAQs for more
information. Questions? Contact
Susan Tyler at (409) 747-3583.
