University of Nebraska Medical Center Chancellor Harold M. Maurer M.D.,
and six of his senior leaders at the University of Nebraska Medical Center,
will visit four communities in Nebraska April 28 and 29.
From North Platte and Scottsbluff on April 28, to Holdrege and Hastings
April 29, the group will be involved in various activities, including guests
at community events, speak at Rotary luncheons, tour health facilities
and meet with health professionals. The goal of the visits is to say thanks,
introduce new members of the UNMC leadership team, listen to the health
care needs of the community, and to let people know UNMC leaders are accessible.
Communities across the state have played an important part in UNMCs
success and I want to say thank you to the citizens for their support,
Dr. Maurer said. He said UNMC appreciates the tremendous support of all
the communities throughout Nebraska who help make its educational programs
possible. We are proud of what we can accomplish together.
Joining Dr. Maurer during the trip will be: Rubens Pamies, M.D., vice
chancellor for academic affairs; Virginia Tilden, D.N.Sc., dean of College
of Nursing; John Gollan, M.D., Ph.D, dean of the College of Medicine; Clarence
Ueda, Ph.D., Pharm.D., dean of the College of Pharmacy; John Reinhardt,
D.D.S., dean of the College of Dentistry, and Bob Bartee, executive assistant
to the chancellor.
Included are three new members of his leadership team: Drs. Pamies,
Tilden and Gollan.
UNMC has a presence in 133 locations across the state, including locations
where community health professionals provide training sites, training and
experience for UNMC students and residents, programs that strive to increase
the number of health professionals practicing in Nebraska, and sites where
students participate in distance education programs.
We have a 500-mile-wide campus and truly serve all parts of the state,
said Dr. Maurer. It is important for me to meet with Nebraskans across
the state and I make it a priority each year to do that. This year, Ive
invited my academic leadership team to go with me. We have recruited several
new leaders to UNMC and I want to introduce them to the state.
