UMC to celebrate grand opening of East Tower

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 15:58:23 GMT

After 8,000 tons of concrete, 23 football fields of sheet rock, and enough studs to build a wall from UMC to Wolfforth, the only thing that stands between Lubbock and its latest medical facility is a thin paper ribbon.

That’s a $46-million dollar addition at UMC that will house the hospital’s new family birth center and neo-natal intensive care unit. It’s a 90-thousand square foot facility made possible in part by the generous donations of many across the South Plains.

“UMC is Lubbock’s only public hospital, and this new facility belongs to each of us,” said Dr. Mike Ragain, UMC chief medical officer. “We’d like to invite the Lubbock community to see this facility and the tremendous services it will provide our patients.”

It includes all the building partners from our Children’s Miracle Network telethon, who pledged a donation every month this past year. If you are one of those, your name is permanently displayed in the East Tower.

There is an open house Saturday morning if you’d like to find your name on the wall or take a tour of the facility. The new tower is filled with 80 portraits that display area patients and staff children.

The open house is from 10 a.m. to Noon Saturday, March 24 at 602 Indiana Ave, which is where the East Tower is located. UMC staff will be available to answer questions during self-guided tour. There will be tours for expectant parents Sunday afternoon from 3:30 to 5 p.m. The facility officially opens for patients on April 2nd.

And so, we are proud to introduce the new, refreshed Acme Electric logo. Our team is confident it will successfully help carry our brand into a new era, all while upholding the same standard of service our customers have been accustomed to all these years.

Acme Electric Company Named November Business of the Month by the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce

Mon, 04 Nov 2024 14:52:49 GMT

How has being a member of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce helped to increase your business relationships in the business community and/or community involvement?

In our case, it’s the invaluable contacts with other construction industry businesses that have been the primary benefit. This allows Acme Electric to come into contact with local businesses looking for work that might otherwise be missed. We strive to develop and maintain the use of local companies for our project partnerships. It has also pushed us to continually update our practices in order to stay ahead of industry standards. Networking in Chamber events such as the Hub City BBQ Cook-Off and the Chamber Golf Classic have gotten our name out in front of other Chamber members and given us the opportunity to tell them about Acme Electric. In turn, we have met many other members, learned about their company, and developed many friendships.

When did Acme Electric join the Lubbock Chamber?

Acme Electric has been a member of the Lubbock Chamber since the 1980s!

What is Acme Electric’s favorite part of being a member of the Lubbock Chamber?

Acme Electric is proud of its ties to the Lubbock business community. Being a member of the Chamber means visibility in the city of Lubbock and it boosts our reputation as an active economic force.

In what way is Acme Electric most involved with the Chamber?

Acme Electric’s major contribution to the Chamber is during the Hub City BBQ Cook-Off. We help set up the temporary electrical power needed for all the participants.

Does Acme Electric have a favorite Chamber event? If so, what?

Yes! We love being a contestant in the Hub City BBQ Cook-Off and have participated for a decade. It’s been great watching the participation and community interaction grow with each year. In 2016 we won “Best Ribs”, “Best Brisket” and “Best Other Meat” and this past year we won “Most Unique Cooker” .
