Take me out to the ball game...

Last Sunday, Resiterns headed out to Minute Maid Park for a family day at the Astros game. It was a gorgeous day in Houston...no humidity, a breeze, sunshine, clear skies. All in all, it was a perfect day to take the family to a baseball game. We had a great time, and we want to thank Erin and Amanda for organizing this event!

We had cheap seats, but we were in the shade. It was perfect!

Our history...

Prior to 1959, UTMB had no social organization through which its house staff and their spouses could socialize. Recognizing the need for friendship and diversification while in Galveston, L’Nell Starkey initiated the formation of a group which was to become Resiterns. Although the organization has changed somewhat

from the small group which met in the student lounge of the

Ashbel Smith Building in July 1959, its basic purpose is still the same; to offer a support group for residents, interns, fellows and their spouses/significant others throughout their years of training at UTMB.

Membership...

Membership is open to all interns, residents, fellows and their spouses or significant others. Former Resiterns members and faculty may join and receive the monthly newsletter.

During the year, members may take advantage of numerous social functions, participate in worthwhile service projects, benefit from programs designed to educate or entertain, and become involved in some of the smaller interest groups. An informative monthly newsletter is also sent to all active Resiterns members.

Annual dues are $50.00 for each family.

Care and Concern

The Care and Concern Committee provides Resiterns members with support and assistance when it's needed most! We celebrate the birth of each Resiterns baby with home-cooked meals for Mom and Dad. We also empathize with those friends mourning the loss of a loved one. Whatever joy or sorrow a member may be experiencing, the Care and Concern chairwoman and other friends in Resiterns are there to see the family through it.

Service Opportunities

Resiterns gives back to the local community through a variety of service projects and donations. We also collect items for the Women’s Crisis Center at monthly meetings. There are plenty of opportunities for each Resiterns member!

Mother’s Group

Mother’s Group plans activities throughout the year, including an Easter Egg Hunt, Halloween Party, Children’s Bon Voyage, and Breakfast with Santa, for all the children of Resiterns members to enjoy.
