Gold, MD. As he looked out at the new Rural Health Education Building under construction on the University of Nebraska at Kearney campus, Dr. Gold saw an incredible blue sky and brilliant sunshine, representing the state\u2019s bright future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI see a future for health care workforce development in rural Nebraska unlike any other part of the country,\u201d Dr. Gold said. \u201cWhen I look across this sky, I see the results of unique public-private partnerships that frankly could not happen in any other part of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before it was lifted into place, marking a major milestone for the $95 million project, the final structural beam was signed by Nebraskans from across the state \u2013 students, educators, lawmakers, donors and health care professionals who all share the same vision. They want to preserve the vitality of rural communities and protect the health and well-being of every resident, regardless of where they live.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising1040224-1024x676.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109830\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising1040224-1024x676.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising1040224-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising1040224-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising1040224-1536x1014.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising1040224.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Attendees sign a steel beam before it\u2019s placed on the new Rural Health Education Building during Monday\u2019s ceremony at UNK.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>It takes a family to make a project like this happen, Dr. Gold noted, and \u201cthe definition of a family is that we take care of each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can wring our hands about the challenges that we face in the future, but we\u2019re going to do something proactive about it and we\u2019re going to build that future together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 125 people attended the beam-raising ceremony, which UNK Chancellor Doug Kristensen, JD, called a \u201chistoric event\u201d for health care education in Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe really are celebrating more than constructing a building here,\u201d Kristensen said. \u201cI think this is celebrating the strong bond that we have between the University of Nebraska at Kearney and the University of Nebraska Medical Center. This is a partnership that is unlike anything else I\u2019ve seen in state government.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"731\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising7040224-1024x731.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising7040224-1024x731.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising7040224-300x214.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising7040224-768x548.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising7040224-1536x1097.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising7040224.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, MD, and UNK Chancellor Doug Kristensen, at right, lead a countdown during Monday\u2019s beam-raising ceremony for the new Rural Health Education Building.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of the weather, Kristensen and Dr. Gold spoke inside the Health Science Education Complex, another example of the impactful collaboration between UNK and UNMC. The institutions opened that $19 million facility on UNK\u2019s west campus in 2015, and it quickly filled. Around 300 students currently are pursuing degrees there in professional programs such as cardiovascular interventional technology, diagnostic medical sonography, magnetic resonance imaging, medical laboratory science, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, physician assistant and radiography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>About 85% of the students who graduate from these programs start their careers in rural Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That success led to the development of the Rural Health Education Building. Located directly north of the Health Science Education Complex, the Rural Health Education Building further addresses a need for additional health care professionals in rural communities by allowing more students to study and train in central Nebraska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three-story, 110,000-square-foot facility will feature state-of-the-art classrooms, cutting-edge technology and extensive simulation and clinical skills laboratories. More importantly, it allows UNMC to expand its allied health and nursing programs in Kearney, while launching new programs to train physicians, pharmacists and public health professionals here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students will be able to enroll in the newly expanded programs beginning in fall 2025, using existing UNK facilities until the new building opens in early 2026. With a second facility on campus, UNMC will double the number of students it\u2019s training in Kearney, bringing the total to more than 600.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kristensen believes these two facilities \u2013 jointly named the Douglas A. Kristensen Rural Health Education Complex in his honor \u2013 represent the future of rural health care education in America. This model, he said, shows other states what\u2019s possible when you bring world-class medical training to the communities that need these professionals the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is nothing like this, and it\u2019s happening right here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"742\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising3040224-1024x742.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-109836\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising3040224-1024x742.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising3040224-300x217.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising3040224-768x557.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising3040224-1536x1113.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/BeamRaising3040224-2048x1484.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">From left, UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P.

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\n\n\n<p>The project also sends a \u201cpowerful message\u201d to students who want to live and work in rural communities, according to Dr. Gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t help but believe that the investment of the state in these types of programs is pivotal in convincing these young women and young men \u2026 to stay here to raise their families and be part of the future
