A note from Tim Harlin, DSc, MBA, FACHE, executive vice president and CEO of UTMB Health
Our true north at
UTMB Health is
simply this: Deliver
the right care, at the
right time in the right
way—and have the
best possible results for
every patient, every time.
As emergency services personnel, you play a vital role in keeping our communities healthy and safe.
As such, we want you to know the depth of emergency services available at our campuses. For instance, you can bring a stroke patient to UTMB’s Clear Lake Hospital because we have 24/7 neurosurgery coverage, and just this December we successfully treated a ruptured aneurysm for the first time at that campus.
Our neuroscience program is growing and we continue to expand procedures and to hire more specialized experts in this field so that they’re available for you to call on during an emergency. The goal of this newsletter is to let you know what emergency services are available at UTMB Health’s four campuses—Clear Lake, League City, Galveston and Angleton Danbury.
But UTMB is not just a collection of separate campuses. We are integrated in numerous and meaningful ways. For example, the Clear Lake hospital is a Level 3 Trauma Center, and UTMB’s League City Campus Hospital recently became a Level 3 center as well. The Angleton Danbury Campus Hospital is a Level 4 center while the Galveston Campus has a Level 1 designation.
UTMB has the largest and most coordinated trauma network in the region. Over the last decade, we’ve worked hard to extend our services throughout the growing and vibrant communities in the Bay Area and across Brazoria County. We have a long and storied history of improving the health of the people of Southeast Texas and that continues to be our driving force.
As emergency medical professionals, you share our values and complement our services. Thank you for being our strategic partners in delivering high-quality care. You help us create a seamless experience for our patients that allows us to get them the best help at the best place at the right time.
