From Times Staff and Wire Reports
The chief executive of the UCLA hospital system has been named president of the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston.
Dr. David L. Callender, 49, will leave his post at UCLA after three years, during which he oversaw a number of budget cuts and layoffs. Meanwhile, the opening of the new Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center was delayed for several years during that period because of increased construction costs and design changes.
Callender said none of those problems affected his decision to move to Texas, his home state.
