The unit, which opened in early 2025, is a test site for Project Health, a new hospital that will soon rise on the northwest corner of UNMC\u2019s campus in Omaha. It\u2019s where new models of care are being trialed, where technology is being refined and where the blueprint for a radically different kind of academic medical center is taking shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/project-health\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Project Health, opens in a new window\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project Health<\/a>&nbsp;will be a huge classroom that will take care of over 500 patients,\u201d said Dr. Vokoun, the division chief for hospital medicine at UNMC. \u201cWe are thinking about the classroom just as much as the patient experience.

Designed with families in mind, they will be built to reduce the time patients spend moving through the hospital, so they can spend more time healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are condensing 90% of inpatient care into one tower,\u201d said Dr. Vokoun, who also serves as a hospitalist for Nebraska Medicine. \u201cSo, students and physicians will be able to see their patients more frequently, and patients will have more time to truly be treated, instead of traveling from one location to another in a bed or in a wheelchair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rooms will have more space for family and learners, so patients won\u2019t feel crowded. They\u2019ll also be equipped with virtual nursing tools and real-time monitoring, which will be working in the background to keep them safe and their care more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>H. Dele Davies, MD, interim chancellor at UNMC, said the patient experience will be transformational.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe technology in Project Health will allow us to take the high-quality care we provide to another level,\u201d Dr. Davies said. \u201cEvery aspect of patient care will be monitored to learn from and improve upon. It\u2019s going to be a very, very different experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Built to teach<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ProjectHealth3020426.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-129591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ProjectHealth3020426.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ProjectHealth3020426-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ProjectHealth3020426-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Most academic hospitals are built for care first \u2014 and then try to wedge in teaching space wherever it fits. Project Health flips that model. One-third of the hospital\u2019s square footage will be dedicated to education. That\u2019s unprecedented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis will be one of the largest allocations of learning and teaching space in an academic medical center that has ever been planned in the country,\u201d said University of Nebraska System President Jeffrey P. Gold, MD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The design includes patient rooms large enough for team-based learning, integrated classrooms and spaces for reflection and rest. Dr. Davies said Project Health will be a space where students feel supported and want to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur students work really hard. It\u2019s a lot of stress, and we know where we work impacts our mental status and well-being,\u201d Dr. Davies said. \u201cBut at Project Health, students will be able to come to a place they look forward to going. It\u2019s going to lift up not just the trainees but also our patients and our staff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Gold said the academic-first design will help recruit the talent Nebraska needs to meet demand for health care across the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving the ability to add between 25% and 40% more health care professionals to the workforce pipeline is a unique opportunity that many institutions across the country would cherish,\u201d Dr. Gold said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s not just about new students. Project Health also will support reskilling for current professionals \u2014 preparing them for a future shaped by AI, data science and new models of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Built to discover<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"864\" height=\"648\" src=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ProjectHealth4020426.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-129590\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ProjectHealth4020426.jpg 864w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ProjectHealth4020426-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.unmc.edu\/newsroom\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ProjectHealth4020426-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 864px) 100vw, 864px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Project Health will sit adjacent to Catalyst and CORE \u2014 two facilities in Omaha\u2019s new EDGE District designed to connect researchers, clinicians and industry partners. That proximity matters. It means more conversations, more collaboration and faster innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within Project Health, research scientists, clinicians and patients will work under the same roof, similar to the highly successful Fred &amp; Pamela Buffett Cancer Center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRiding in the same elevators, sharing space in the break rooms, it creates a unique interaction,\u201d Dr. Gold said, \u201cand it\u2019s been extremely successful in the quantity, quality and scope of cancer research that we\u2019ve seen grow since the cancer center opened. We need to learn from that lesson. We need to figure out how to do it better, and we need to do more of it across all areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For patients, that will mean benefiting from the latest research being integrated into their care and opportunities to participate in potentially lifesaving clinical trials. One such trial is already underway. Recently, a patient from Blair, Nebraska, was the first in the U.S. to receive CAR T-cell therapy for multiple sclerosis, thanks to a clinical trial that stemmed from clinician-researcher collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHaving the opportunity to work in close proximity and have collaborative conversations makes a big difference in the rapidity in which we can bring a new trial to Omaha and our networks throughout Nebraska,\u201d Dr. Davies said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Built to grow<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group callout\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Impact across Nebraska<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Project Health will expand the critical role of UNMC and Nebraska Medicine as a referral center for the treatment of complex cases, expand rural access to clinical trials and allow patients to work with their local physicians in consultation with their Nebraska Medicine care teams.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The forecasted economic impact of Project Health is staggering. During construction, it\u2019s projected to generate $3.2 billion and create nearly 20,000 jobs. Once operational, its annual impact will exceed $1.5 billion, supporting more than 8,800 jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also will help keep rural communities vibrant by training and retaining health care professionals across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is going to be really dramatic for Omaha and for the state,\u201d Dr. Davies said. \u201cThese researchers will pull in money from the federal government and from national and global consortia.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s being made possible by a groundswell of support \u2014 from major philanthropists to everyday Nebraskans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is the biggest philanthropic campaign in the university\u2019s history,\u201d Dr. Gold said. \u201cBringing together not only the major donors, but tons of smaller gifts from concerned people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A place with purpose<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Scheduled to be operational by 2031, Project Health will be more than a building. Driven by a promise to care better, teach better and discover more, the hundreds of people bringing Project Health to life are committed to building a healthier Nebraska for generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI work here because I want to teach and take great care of patients,\u201d Dr. Vokoun said. \u201cThe environment we\u2019re going to be moving into is world class, and that\u2019s what our patients and our learners deserve when they come to an institution like UNMC.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Health is not just a hospital.
