UTMB Health Pediatrics

What UTMB Health Pediatrics does

UTMB Health Pediatrics is the Department of Pediatrics within The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston (UTMB), a public state university and component of The University of Texas System. The department delivers comprehensive pediatric healthcare across more than 18 academic specialty divisions — including Adolescent Medicine, Allergy-Immunology, Cardiology, Critical Care Medicine (PICU), Emergency Medicine, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Hematology-Oncology, Infectious Diseases, Medical Genetics, Neonatology, Nephrology, Neurology, and Primary/Urgent Care — serving patients from newborn through age 18 across Galveston, League City, and Clear Lake campuses in Southeast Texas. Its technology stack is built on Epic (MyChart patient portal, Haiku/Canto) for clinical and patient-facing systems, Microsoft Intune and Duo Security for identity and device management, and Microsoft Teams/Outlook for staff collaboration; telehealth is delivered via a dedicated connection guide for virtual visits.

The department operates within a three-part academic medical center model: clinical care delivery (primary, specialty, inpatient, emergency, and telehealth), medical education (medical student rotations, residency, fellowships, and continuing medical education), and clinical/translational research (programs in allergen structure, bronchiolitis/asthma, gastrointestinal inflammation, vaccines, prematurity, and otitis media, with an affiliated Clinical and Experimental Immunology and Infectious Diseases unit). Revenue is generated through insurance billing (including Medicare/Medicaid), self-pay patient services, and academic/research grants, though specific departmental revenue is not separately disclosed as a line item within UTMB's institutional finances. The department holds HIPAA, FERPA, HITRUST CSF, and IRB compliance certifications through the UTMB Office of Institutional Compliance and operates as a non-profit, state-governed entity under the UT System Board of Regents with no external equity ownership.
