The growth and the professionalism. It’s really a jewel of Nebraska. My granddaughter, Evelynn Hellbusch, was born here and spent time in the NICU.
What is one thing you want UNMC employees to know about you?
I see a lot of similarities with your process and my experience with the military: holding people accountable, high standards and a long-term vision. I’m a native Nebraskan who has lived globally so I understand your global partnerships and how that brings prosperity.
