UNMC for the record

UNMC prominently featured in KETV story on ‘The Buffett Impact’
On May 3, KETV NewsWatch 7 ran a 30-minute special called, “The Buffett Impact: How Berkshire Hathaway Wealth Has Changed Omaha.” UNMC was prominently featured in the special, which also aired on May 5 on “Chronicle,” KETV’s weekly news program.

Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., and longtime UNMC supporter Ruth Scott were interviewed.

Ruth Scott told reporter David Earl that her and husband Bill Scott’s philanthropy “is all due to Berkshire Hathaway.”

Later in the piece, Earl walks on the UNMC campus, saying, “Perhaps no place has changed more drastically with Bill and Ruth Scott’s Berkshire Hathaway fortune than UNMC. They made it feel like a campus, and they helped give the College of Public Health a home.”

“The Berkshire investors, the Berkshire family of philanthropists, are very concerned about making sure they are building a sustainable future,” Dr. Gold said in the piece.
