What does that sticker mean?
The University of Texas Medical Branch has adopted a traffic light labeling system to help people make healthier choices from vending machines. Color-coded stickers have been added to select vending machines on the Galveston Campus to make it easier to recognize foods and drinks that are lower in fat, sugar and sodium. The system eventually will be expanded to all three campuses.
Red stickers represent items that should be chosen only as an indulgence.
Yellow stickers represent items that should be chosen in moderation.
Green stickers represent items that can be chosen often.
League City campus hospital opens Saturday
The medical branch will open its full-service hospital, complete with inpatient and emergency care, at the expanded League City Campus on Saturday. For details, photos and a map of the new facility, visit www.utmb.edu/league-city-campus.
Where is it exactly?
The medical branch is changing rapidly so new interactive maps have been developed for all three campuses and for all locations throughout the state. The maps can be viewed on portable devices and are searchable. The medical branch’s system is based on and uses the familiar Google Maps platform. Visit the map at www.utmb.edu/map.
