Medics Awarded Golden Hammer Members of the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences team and the roving crew work on repairs to a home in the Sunnyside neighborhood during House Medics 2000. More than four dozen Houston area homes are in much better shape than they were before the UT-Houston House Medics came to town. Homes in need of repair are selected by PSI, the non-profit group.
PSI also gathers the needed building materials.
It needed significant carpentry work, but our volunteers were up to the task. The house was repaired by the Dean s Team, headed by Sharon Pepper, Neurobiology and Anatomy. About 350 volunteers donated their time, expertise and elbow grease to this year s effort, the largest group in a few years. They were blessed with good weather both weekends, but there was one problem not enough ladders.
