🎉 Join us in congratulating our newest Marshall-Watson Award recipient, John Moreno, RN, BSN, NC III, at Hospital Galveston!

In partnership with the UTMB School of Nursing in Galveston and Nursing Service, the Marshall-Watson Award for Excellence in Preceptorship recognizes nurse clinicians who go above and beyond to mentor and shape the next generation of nurses.

John’s dedication to nursing excellence, leadership, and preceptorship makes a lasting impact on his team and future nurses alike.

"Many of our strongest team members credit their success to John’s steady presence and ongoing mentorship. John is also the go to person for all things on the unit. Whether it’s clinical questions, workflow challenges, or unexpected issues. Staff consistently turn to him because they trust his judgment, knowledge, and calm problem solving approach."

We’re proud to honor John Moreno as the 2026 Marshall-Watson Award recipient for his exceptional commitment to guiding and supporting future nursing professionals.

👏 Let’s celebrate John and his incredible contributions to nursing excellence at UTMB!

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.
