After a successful run that spanned five decades, the final Impact was published in January 2020.  Impact was UTMB Health’s employee newsletter. It evolved from a one color printed tabloid newspaper to a full color magazine with a digital component. We’ve archived the past several years on these pages for your review and enjoyment.

Saddle bag
Dr. Thomas Jackson's Saddle bag

UTMB’s university archives at the Moody Medical Library in Galveston include medical saddle bags that belonged to Jackson. He used the saddle bags during the Spanish-American War and they still contain some of the equipment and medicine he would have used to treat soldiers.

Dr. Thomas Jackson graduated in 1893 as a member of the second graduating class of UTMB’s medical school. How many total students graduated that year?

Send your answer to impact.newsletter@utmb.edu and be entered into a drawing to win a UTMB swag bag. Good luck!

Answer to the April trivia question: The annual event with stunning bay views atop the Galveston Causeway is the SHP Causeway FunD Run.
