The new advisory board created solely to focus on the needs of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center will hold its inaugural meeting in Downtown Memphis next week.
The UTHSC advisory board had been scheduled to hold its first meeting in Nashville Jan. 10, but canceled the meeting because of scheduling conflicts.
“Only a bare quorum of four members was available to attend the meeting,” UTHSC said in a statement. “Although the university had hoped to schedule the meeting on a date that might allow Gov. Bill Haslam to attend, Chancellor Steve J. Schwab, M.D., decided it best to reschedule for a later date, when most or all members of the board are able to attend and vote on the important items that must be acted on at the initial meeting.”
The board’s first meeting is now scheduled to take place Thursday, Feb. 14, on the UTHSC campus in the Memphis Medical District.
