Following an executive session — and no public discussion on the matter — trustees unanimously adopted a resolution allowing UT President Dr. Gregory Postel and his leadership team to negotiate changes to the academic affiliation agreement between the UT’s College of Medicine and Life Sciences and ProMedica.
In separate action Wednesday, trustees approved the creation of a separate board to oversee the medical center, UTMC, and all health facilities and clinics, thus replacing the current Clinical Affairs Committee.
The new UT Health Board will have 15 members consisting of two trustees, two department chairmen or faculty members, the dean of the health sciences college, the UT president, the dean of the College of Medicine and Life Sciences, the UT executive vice president/chief financial officer, and seven members of the public.
Dr. Postel said the board allows for all the operations to run more efficiently to better plan budgets and strategy while standardizing operations for a more highly functioning organization.
