Advancing nursing excellence through impactful community support.

Last week, University Federal Credit Union (UFCU) brought its mobile branch to each campus, sharing appreciation with staff through fun swag items and goodies.

At the League City Campus, UFCU representatives Elizabeth Brantly and Derion Jackson presented the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) Nursing team with a generous grant to help cover professional certification exam fees and review courses.

This investment expands access to career advancement for our nurses, reinforcing our commitment to clinical excellence, professional growth, and improved patient outcomes.

Thank you, UFCU, for supporting the future of nursing. 💙
