UNMC faculty, staff and students are invited to join Interim Chancellor H. Dele Davies, MD, on Wednesday, Oct. 15, for this month’s all-campus forum.
Dr. Davies will be joined by Jen Bartholomew, UNMC assistant vice chancellor of facilities, management and planning, and Chad Vokoun, MD, chief of the UNMC Division of Hospital Medicine, who will provide construction updates on Project Health, as well as health care innovations and clinical education opportunities that will result from the project.
The all-campus forum will be from noon to 12:50 p.m. in the College of Nursing, Room 1010, on the Omaha campus. The forum also will be available via Zoom; the link can be found on the campus intranet.
The University of Nebraska Board of Regents earlier this month approved the next phase of Project Health, authorizing construction of the core and shell of the new academic medical center for UNMC and Nebraska Medicine. The $2.19 billion facility will serve as a state-of-the-art clinical learning center to educate and train future health care providers, conduct cutting-edge research and expand access to clinical trials.
In addition, forum attendees will hear updates on topics ranging from UNMC’s academic expansion in Kearney to budgetary matters, including potential university-related impacts of the federal government shutdown.
Questions may be asked during or before the forum. To ask a question in advance, email the UNMC Strategic Communications team. An American Sign Language interpreter will take part in the event.
