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.

Being the best in correctional managed care

This year’s CMC Summer Conference in Houston began with an introduction to UTMB’s top priority for 2017: Best Care.

Donna Sollenberger, executive vice president and chief executive officer for UTMB Health, spoke about the efforts to achieve a top 20 ranking among academic medical centers by fiscal year 2018, and explained how CMC employees fit into the initiative.

Although CMC is not directly involved in the study that evaluates and ranks academic medical centers, they have their own Best Care goals in the correctional health care environment, which include reducing length of stay and improving access to care.

Sollenberger emphasized that everyone plays a part in making UTMB the best in patient care, research and education.

“The work you do makes me so proud to work at UTMB,” said Sollenberger. “I came into health care because I believe that every human being has a right to good health care, and you exemplify that every day with your focus on making sure our patients get the best care. So thank you for doing that—it humbles me to be able to work with people like you.”
