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.

Adeline Smith 60th Anniversary 011

Adeline Smith 60th Anniversary 011
September 5, 1957—that was Adeline Smith’s first day as a nurse’s aide on UTMB’s Galveston Campus. She would later transfer to UTMB’s Food and Nutrition Services team. Now, 60 years later, she’s still feeding patients and bringing a smile to everyone she meets—with no immediate retirement plans.

On Oct. 30, representatives from UTMB food service provider Morrison Healthcare and its parent company, Compass Group, held a special reception for the organization’s first employee to reach such a milestone. Jay Niner (pictured left), regional vice president with Morrison, presented Smith with an award recognizing her achievement.

Smith even made a special menu request—fried pork chops, collard greens, black-eyed peas and cornbread—now (unofficially) renamed the “Adeline Special.”
