UNMC’s leadership team shares some laughs at a farm implement shop in northeast Nebraska during the last year’s annual leadership visit. The team will visit seven western Nebraska communities during its tour today and Tuesday. |
This is the fifth time UNMC leaders have visited communities around the state.
The UNMC contingent will stop in Lexington, North Platte and Scottsbluff today and will make stops in Chadron, Alliance, Sidney and Ogallala on Tuesday.
The group will meet with members of the community at various community receptions hosted by local businesses, colleges and hospitals. They also will visit with various community and business leaders and health professionals.
The purpose of the trip is to thank communities for their support, listen to the health care needs of the community, introduce members of the UNMC leadership team, and let people know UNMC leaders are accessible. Host communities will provide overviews about their communities and UNMC leaders will provide brief updates about the medical center’s progress toward its goal of becoming a world-class academic health sciences center.
UNMC employees can follow the tour on the Chancellor’s Blog, which will feature online updates from the road.
The public is welcome to log on and ask questions.
Joining Dr. Maurer on the trip will be:
- Rubens Pamies, M.D., vice chancellor for academic affairs;
- Robert Bartee, vice chancellor for external affairs;
- John Gollan, M.D., Ph.D., dean of the College of Medicine;
