Dear Colleagues,
Reflecting on
our anniversary
has made me think
about where we've
been and where
we're going. It also
reminds me that
it was teamwork
and a strong
culture that got us to this point. We've
been named Best Place to Work in Texas
three times by the Best Companies Group
and the Texas Association of Business.
Our recent Magnet Recognition® and the
Healthgrades 2018 Outstanding Patient
Experience Award exhibit that service
truly is our passion. Our employees are
here because they like being part of a
supportive, goal-driven environment.
is atmosphere also allows us
to expand our delivery systems and
technology in order to better provide for
the communities we serve. Telemedicine
is one of the ways we are doing just that.
It is a low-cost way of supporting the large
geographic area we cover.
We know that when a community
loses its hospital, it's a major economic
hit to the people in that area. We want
to be able to assist these communities by
providing efficient and effective care to
patients where it's convenient for them —
in regional clinics or even at home. Our
journey to attaining high employee and
patient satisfaction doesn't end there. We
will keep striving to build on our strong
culture of service for years to come.
Mike Ragain,
Chief Medical Officer,
UMC Health System
