Interim UNMC Chancellor H. Dele Davies, MD, will be joined by Nebraska Medicine CEO Michael Ash, MD,\u00a0and Clarkson Regional Health Services\u2019 CEO Bill Lydiatt, MD, for a\u00a0special all-campus forum Tuesday, Jan. 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forum will begin at noon in the Sorrell Center, Room 1005, and provide the med community an opportunity to hear from campus leaders and ask questions related to the governance of Nebraska Medicine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The forum also will be available via\u00a0Zoom; the link can be found on\u00a0the campus intranet<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conversations continue following the University of Nebraska Board of Regents\u2019 Jan. 15 vote to accept Clarkson Regional Health Services\u2019 offer to assume sole-governance. On Jan. 22, the two entities announced a reconstituted interim board of directors for Nebraska Medicine that will be led by Dr. Davies. On Tuesday, Drs. Davies, Ash and Lydiatt will update the campus community, including next steps in moving toward a sole-governance structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendees may ask questions during the forum or in advance by emailing the UNMC Strategic Communications team<\/a>. An American Sign Language interpreter will take part in the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

See UNMC\u2019s Nebraska Medicine governance website<\/a>\u00a0for more information, including updates to the Q&A section, reflecting commonly asked questions<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
