About Us
Surrounded by beauty and innovative settings, our cancer center creates an unprecedented approach to treating patients and discovering breakthroughs in our decades-long fight against cancer.
Created through a partnership between UNMC and Nebraska Medicine and supported through the generosity of our many donors, the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center is an intentional space for researchers, clinicians and patients.
Our $323 million state-of-the-art cancer research and clinical care facility opened in 2017 and includes the Suzanne and Walter Scott Research Tower and the C.L. Werner Cancer Hospital. The building also includes a multidisciplinary outpatient cancer clinic, radiation and infusion treatment centers. The facility is the largest public-private partnership in the history of Nebraska.
