\n

The University of Nebraska at Kearney and UNMC will host a groundbreaking ceremony on Sept. 5 for the new UNK-UNMC Rural Health Education Building, a cutting-edge facility that will grow the state\u2019s rural health care workforce and help communities thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, will be joined by UNK Chancellor Doug Kristensen, JD, and University of Nebraska President Ted Carter at the event, which will begin at 1:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recording of the event will be made available in UNMC Today’s post-ceremony coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Rural Health Education Complex opens, not only will medical, public health and pharmacy students be able to attend class on the Kearney campus for the first time, but existing allied health and nursing students will enjoy expanded class and program offerings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When fully operational, the Rural Health Education Building and existing Health Science Education Complex will support about 240 local jobs and have an annual economic impact estimated at $34.5 million.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
