UT Health East Texas has announced the integration of Vascular Tyler into its healthcare system, which will now operate as the UT Health East Texas Vascular Clinic. This move is intended to enhance the availability of exceptional vascular care throughout the East Texas region. The announcement emphasizes that patients can expect to continue receiving care from their current providers without any changes to clinic locations, phone numbers, or physician availability. The addition of Vascular Tyler is part of UT Health East Texas's ongoing efforts to expand its network and specialized services. [4, 7]

UT Health Athens and Cedar Creek Lake breast imaging centers are now offering 3D mammography services. This technology aims to improve the detection of breast cancers for women in Henderson County and surrounding communities by allowing radiologists to review breast tissue in multiple layers, which helps reduce the effect of tissue overlap. UT Health East Texas recently held ribbon-cutting ceremonies at both locations to mark the introduction of the new technology and offered tours of the facilities. This enhancement in imaging services is expected to provide more accurate screening and detection. [4, 7]
