Ashlei Spivey, a candidate for Nebraska Legislature in District 13 (which includes parts of North Omaha and northeast Douglas County), visited UNMC for a tour in August.
Spivey toured UNMC’s Davis Global Center and the iEXCEL health care simulation program. IEXCEL’s Moriah McCune highlighted the program’s interactive digital iWall technology, the holographic theater and surgical and clinical simulation spaces, including a room with “Vicki,” a labor and delivery manikin.
Spivey said the visit showed her the program’s intention around making sure people in the medical field can practice care and get it right, which benefits people on the receiving end of the care.
“We are seeing our medical care really be intentional and centered in the health and well-being of our community members,” she said. “I think it was really great to see this and what we are investing in.”
