Rebecca Sealy Hospital was an eight-story hospital, and one of five hospitals on the campus of the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) in Galveston, Texas, United States.[1][2] It was founded in 1866 as St. Mary's Hospital, a private, Catholic, general hospital, but was purchased in 1996 by the Sealy & Smith Foundation.[3] The foundation renamed it and donated it to the university for use as a psychiatric, outpatient surgery, and research hospital.[4][5][6][7]
Hurricane Ike
[edit]In 2008, severe flooding from Hurricane Ike damaged all UTMB facilities, including Rebecca Sealy Hospital. The inpatient psychiatric unit closed and the building was renovated into offices and simulation labs.[8]
