Former New York City policeman Michael Manley recently received a kidney transplant at UNMC’s hospital partner, The Nebraska Medical Center.<\/p>\n

Concerned that Nebraska lacked the technology or the know how found in the Big Apple, Manley initially was skeptical about coming to Nebraska to receive his kidney, which was donated by his sister-in-law, Roseann Mastio of Bellevue.<\/p>\n
