Health care professionals are vital for their communities. But increasingly, rural health care is on life support. That’s why the University of Nebraska Medical Center is making rural health a priority.
The Medical Center, in partnership with the University of Nebraska at Kearney, is in the middle of an ambitious new project: the Rural Health Education Building. Construction on the three story, 100-thousand square foot building began in fall of 2023. When it opens in 2026, the building will expand existing offerings to more than 300 students and strengthen the talent pipeline of health professionals.
Doug Kristensen, the chancellor at the University of Nebraska at Kearney, believes the new facility will bring health and economic benefits to the state. In this episode of “Leading Nebraska,” we talk with Kristensen about how initiatives like the Rural Health Education Building are leading Nebraska into a healthier future..
