UNT System Regents meet at HSC
The UNT System Board of Regents held its quarterly meeting at the Health Science Center on Nov. 15 and 16. The regents meet quarterly to discuss and vote on key items such as expanding programs and buildings at all UNT campuses, and to get updates on activities at each campus. The regents meet at the Health Science Center once a year. Three new board members attended this meeting and visited our campus for the first time.

For a full report on the Board of Regents' actions and more, attend one of President Ransom’s quarterly town hall meetings: Wednesday, Nov. 28 at noon and Friday, Nov. 30 at 7am. Both will be held in Everett Hall.

The symposium is at the Sheraton Arlington Hotel in Arlington. You can still attend Saturday’s primary care-focused events for a reduced fee. CNE/CEU credit is available.

735-DOCS operators answer the call….over 60,000 times
Tarrant County residents are quickly becoming familiar with UNT Health’s 735-DOCS phone number as a resource for their health care needs. The last four month’s numbers have been tallied and analyzed… they totaled a whopping 62,514 calls. The average waiting time before speaking with a live representative was 51 seconds. Each call averaged just under three minutes, which means each staff member averaged 11.5 calls every hour. Currently, there are seven customer service representatives manning the phones and two of them are bilingual. There are also efforts underway to add additional staff and an RN Assistant Director.

“World of Possibilities” photos and video online
Check out the newly updated “World of Possibilities” Inauguration web site... It’s got photos from all of the inaugural events, as well as President Scott Ransom’s ceremony address and the “World of Possibilities” video.
