UTMB Health

At the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), we are dedicated to improving the health of the people of Texas and around the world. As a leading academic health science center, we understand that our patients and students face complex challenges in an ever-evolving healthcare landscape. That is why we have committed ourselves to a mission of education, research, and compassionate patient care for over 130 years. We strive to provide our students with a world-class education that prepares them to become the next generation of healthcare leaders, while simultaneously delivering cutting-edge medical treatments to our diverse patient population.

Our comprehensive health system is designed to meet the unique needs of every individual we serve. From our Level 1 Trauma Center to our network of primary and specialty care clinics, we ensure that high-quality care is accessible to communities throughout the Texas Gulf Coast region. We are also home to a robust research enterprise, including the Galveston National Laboratory, where our scientists are working tirelessly to combat infectious diseases and develop life-saving therapies. By fostering an environment of innovation and collaboration, we empower our faculty, staff, and students to push the boundaries of medical science and deliver solutions that truly make a difference in people's lives.
