Galveston County Daily News, Nov. 18, 2008 This question and answer column focuses on UTMB's Children's Hospital. Even though there are no plans to reopen Children's Hospital, UTMB will open a clinic to provide primary pediatric care in December. A 24-hour urgent care facility for children, a newborn nursery and the neonatal intensive care unit are already in operation on the UTMB campus. When the hospital opens additional inpatient beds, some of those beds will be designated for pediatric patients. All pediatric specialty services will be offered at UTMB clinics on the mainland.
