FOR RELEASE: June 7, 2006
GALVESTON, Texas — The University of Texas Medical Branch Children’s Hospital and the Department of Pediatrics invite visitors to a new Web site, www.drdolphin.org.
The child-friendly site features Dr. Dolphin, the Children’s Hospital mascot, who guides children and parents to health information, fun and games, activities and events, and Web links to other health-related sites. The new site also makes it easy for parents to find nearby UTMB clinics or to make appointments with UTMB physicians.
“We’ve created a site where parents can find accurate information about children’s health, find access to our services and how UTMB Children’s Hospital is working with our community,” says Dr. Christine Turley, vice chairwoman for clinical services in the Department of Pediatrics at UTMB.
Visitors to the site can learn more about UTMB clinical services, research studies, including the need for research volunteers, and education programs. Some information on DrDolphin.org is available in Spanish. For more information, visit the Web site or call (409) 772-1580.
