Gold, MD. In it, he explains the rationale for the proposed transition of Nebraska Medicine to a sole membership model under the University of Nebraska. Dr. Gold also addresses a number of key questions you&#8217;ve raised. I encourage you to watch the full video to hear the explanations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As conversations continue, our focus remains the same \u2014 providing the extraordinary care, world-class education and breakthrough research that Nebraska Medicine and UNMC deliver every day to Nebraskans across the state. Please know, we are committed to being transparent and to sharing updates as information becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for everything you do and for continuing to show up for our patients, learners and one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H.
