Galen Website Content Gets Overhaul
 
The Galen College of Nursing website recently was overhauled to include fresh and enhanced content. In particular, the Student Services section has been restructured to add descriptions of the services offered to students, a Careers in Nursing page that includes links to local healthcare employers, a Galen Pulse archive page and more.

Christus Santa Rosa Health Care and the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio say they intend to lead the planning process toward developing a free-standing, nonprofit academic children's hospital in San Antonio, according to a report in the San Antonio Business Journal.
