NET’s popular television series “Nebraska Stories” will feature the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and the Chihuly Sanctuary as the series returns for its 10th season at 8 p.m. CT tonight on NET.
Enjoyed by viewers across the state for its engaging storytelling and beautiful visuals, “Nebraska Stories” explores the art, nature, food, science, history and people that make Nebraska special.
Thursday’s episode will feature a story focusing on the hospital’s use of art in healing. Ken Cowan, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, is interviewed during the segment.
“We want this to be uplifting, we want this to take them away from where they are in their difficult periods, and provide additional hope and inspiration to them,” he says in the episode.
Other stories in the episode will include an emotional journey as members of the Ponca Tribe walk 280 miles in their ancestors’ footsteps and the unique bond between a Grand Island coach and player.
