Making a difference. Benefiting people in Nebraska and all over the world. Beginning incredible developments in medical research.
These were the sentiments donors voiced when it came to giving $75 million to build a research center on the UNMC campus.
“It isn’t something we have to do. It isn’t something we need to do. But it’s something that’s in your heart,” said Michael Yanney, chairman of the board of the America First Companies and one of the major donors to the Durham Research Center.
