In a guest column, state Sen. Stephen Ogden writes about UTMB’s value to the region as an economic engine renowned for its educational, research and hospital missions. “There is still a long way to go but, as everyone does their part, the medical branch can be better than it ever was. I will closely watch the expenditure of funds and review progress reports to ensure its recovery stays on track. I believe this renewed commitment to our Texas medical school will be the start of another greatly distinguished era in its fabled history,” he wrote.
