In this first week we’ve accomplished a lot. Today there were dehumidifiers near the PCP beginning the process of drying it out. Some of the clinical systems are coming online tomorrow morning (not EPIC yet). One of the issues with bringing these systems up is the lack of AC for the servers (you all know how cold we keep our little servers, imagine what it must be like for the servers that run the whole university!)

Family Medicine is planning to start assessing and preparing Stewart Road Family Health as soon as possible. We hope to be here to meet the Galveston community’s needs as residents return to the Island.

For those of you waiting to return to your homes here, watch the Noon press conference on Saturday — we’re hoping that the Mayor and City Manager may lay out a time line and process for the return of residents to the Island.

Finally, the UTMB main site mentioned the availability of Employee Assistance Program services to all employees. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of these services. For more information, please visit http://www.utmb.edu.

I won’t be posting any more news this weekend, but even though we aren’t posting news it doesn’t mean the work has stopped. I’ll give you another update early next week. Please try to have a safe, enjoyable weekend wherever you are.
