Last we heard, the medical center devastated from Hurricane Ike was facing a very difficult recovery. In November, massive layoffs were announced.
MedPage Today went to Texas and found that the news was not all bad: “They hope to reopen John Sealy Hospital for acute care — for good — within a week. Obstetrics and newborn services returned to UTMB a month ago and will remain in operation, as those hospital areas are unaffected by the air-quality issues.”
The loyalty of faculty and desire to rebuild the center to “come back stronger and more vibrant” is inspiring.
The video report is below.
