The opportunity for the shift in governance came about after Clarkson Regional Health Services alerted the university that it intended to withdraw its interest in Nebraska Medicine. CRHS and the university have been dual members in what is now Nebraska Medicine since 1997 and have partnered on efforts to provide clinical care and medical educational opportunities since the 1950s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a aria-label=\"this UNMC informational website on Nebraska Medicine governance is available., opens in a new window\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/news\/nm-governance\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This UNMC informational website on Nebraska Medicine governance is available<\/a>, including questions and answers on important issues.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nebraska.edu\/news-and-events\/news\/2026\/01\/a-visionary-plan-to-transform-the-future-of-health-care-in-nebraska\">Background on the history and details of this proposed transaction\u00a0are available online.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>See this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/2026\/01\/14\/a-message-on-the-university-of-nebraskas-path-forward-with-nebraska-medicine\/\">message from NU President Jeffrey P.
