Houston Chronicle reporter Harvey Rice has a front page story in the 9/5/14 about UTMB's recovery since Hurricane Ike in 2008 (UTMB makes full recovery, Houston Chronicle, Friday, September 5, 2014, pages A1, A10). He provides a summary of institutional events following Hurricane Ike, including UTMB's expansion onto the mainland and the decrease in charity care that the institution now provides (3128 uninsured patients treated in 2008 dropped to to 233 in 2011 according to the Galveston County Free Care Monitoring Project).
