I’d like to wish you and your family a happy and healthy holiday season as we come to the conclusion of another calendar year, one that has been historically significant for UTMB in many ways.
Your hard work and commitment this past year and in the many previous years were catalysts for UTMB to open the Jennie Sealy Hospital on our Galveston Campus and the League City Campus Hospital—among many other accomplishments—during our 125th year as an institution. I’d like to personally thank you for all you’ve done to improve the lives of others and for your continued contributions to UTMB’s vital and important missions.
