The collaboration between UNMC and UNK will take the physical form of a $19 million building at the corner of Highway 30 and University Drive on the west edge of UNK’s campus, and comes after more than two years of discussion and planning, development of programs and fundraising. <\/p>\n

The majority of funding comes from a 2012 Nebraska Legislative Appropriation through the universitywide Building a Healthier Nebraska initiative. A $1 million donation from Catholic Health Initiatives\/Good Samaritan Hospital also helps with the project.<\/p>\n

Project architect, RDG Planning and Design, has made available renderings of the facility, and construction begins April 1. It will open in June 2015. Hausmann Construction is the construction contractor.<\/p>\n

The vision of UNK and UNMC is to build a nationally recognized learning and research environment that promotes education in rural primary care, generates scientific discoveries and new knowledge about rural health, and enhances strategies to promote high-quality primary care in rural communities by creating academic and community partnerships around rural health problems and opportunities.<\/p>\n

UNK Chancellor Doug Kristensen and UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., will keynote the ceremony. The public is welcome to attend. Parking is available in Lot 26 west of the Frank House.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
