A new concept for UTMB in which leaders head out “on the road” to meet employees where they are, launched Sept. 2 at the CMC
Summer Conference in Houston. UTMB President Dr. David L. Callender presented his first Town Hall “On the Road’’ during a meeting of roughly 500 UTMB Correctional Managed Care (CMC) leaders.
Callender updated them about recent UTMB highlights and discussed the institution’s growth and plans for the future. He also encouraged employees to use UTMB’s Road Ahead document—which focuses on People, Value, Strategic Management and Growth, and Resources—as a guide in their daily eff orts to advance UTMB’s mission to improve health for the people of Texas and around the world.
Employee Advisory Council members also were on hand to greet CMC employees during the conference, and Callender answered questions from CMC employees at the end of the meeting.

Traditionally, Town Halls have been held on the Galveston Campus, with online viewing options for additional locations. Based on survey results and focus group feedback, UTMB leadership felt it important to visit employees in person, so they’re “hitting the road.’’ Town Hall On the Road will bring you the latest UTMB updates and give leadership an opportunity to hear directly from you. Watch for details on sessions as they’re scheduled.
