In mid-August, UTMB Health Angleton Danbury Campus celebrated the one-year anniversary of its launch.
An event attended by more than 150 was held at the campus to mark the start of the relationship in August 2014 between UTMB and the Angleton Danbury Medical Center, which has served the Brazoria County area for four decades.
The impetus was a desire by both UTMB and ADMC to provide enhanced access to care closer to home for the region’s residents and to pave the way for success in an environment that is increasingly focused on accountable care.
In its first year, the campus has added nine new physicians to the surrounding community, and three more practitioners are set to join with UTMB this fall. In addition, Dr. Lucy Ryan, a Lake Jackson physician, joined UTMB in December and is fully integrated into the organization’s electronic medical record system.
The acute care hospital, which serves Angleton, Danbury, Rosharon and the surrounding communities, provides care for more than 60,000 of the area’s residents. The campus provides a variety of services including 24-hour emergency services, mammography program, cardiopulmonary clinical laboratory, diagnostic imaging services, outpatient surgery, rehabilitation, physical therapy and wellness programs.
