State Sen. Robert Clements met with UNMC leaders and toured the Global Center for Health Security earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Clements, who represents District 2 in Lincoln and southeast Nebraska, said he was especially interested in UNMC\u2019s collaborations with the military. His aunt flew as a WASP in World War II and later graduated from medical school at UNMC to become a neurologist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His visit began with a meeting with UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, in which they discussed possible future collaborations between UNMC and the state.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Global Center for Health Security tour was led by Dossy Felts, associate director of administration and operations for the GCHS, and joined by Lt. Col. Elizabeth Schnaubelt, MD, medical director for the\u00a0U.S. Air Force Center for Sustainment of Trauma Readiness Skills (C-STARS) Omaha, and Chris Kratochvil, MD, UNMC vice chancellor for external relations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Global Center for Health Security, where he toured the National Training, Simulation and Quarantine Unit, Sen. Clements, who has been in the legislature since 2017, toured the negatively pressurized CONEX infectious diseases training unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is very advanced technology, more than I expected,\u201d he said following the tour. \u201cI\u2019m impressed with the degree of excellence, forward-thinking and cutting-edge technologies and treatments that you have here,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m pleased to see what we\u2019re doing here in Nebraska \u2013 a small state, but we\u2019re doing a lot to contribute to national health.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
