GALVESTON The deep, dark eyes that gaze out at you from the official
UTMB photo badge are so warm and compelling that you want to hug its
owner who, the tag helpfully informs you, is Tilly from geriatrics.
And people do just that all day long.
And a hug is more than OK, since Tilly is the official house dog of the
University of Texas Medical Branch’s ACE unit.
The Acute Elder Care ward is on the top floor of John Sealy Hospital.
This is where Tilly reports for her eight-hour shift each
weekday.
Signs caution visitors not to leave doors open since Tilly is on her
rounds greeting staff, patients and their families.
