This editorial praises action by the University of Texas System Board of Regents to restore UTMB on Galveston Island to pre-Ike levels and notes the importance of UTMB to the state. “We join Galvestonians in welcoming this news. A vibrant, healthy Galveston, bolstered by the thousands of jobs created by UTMB, is vital to the economic, recreational and cultural health of the greater Houston region. A secure, dynamic UTMB is crucial to the efficient working of our public health care system.”
