Gold, M.D. &ldquo;We&rsquo;re grateful to the regents for this heartfelt recognition. Our role as the national center for health security and biomedical preparedness will continue to recognize the achievements of our team and provide distinction for Nebraska.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe medical center, as the home to one of the nation&rsquo;s four biocontainment units, was asked by the U.S. State Department in 2014 to treat an Ebola patient. Having drilled for countless hours since the unit opened in 2005, the biocontainment team was uniquely qualified to answer the call. The original team was soon joined by other experts on campus.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Nebraska Ebola team&rsquo;s efforts were hailed internationally, and at home: The Omaha World-Herald named the team its 2014 Midlanders of the Year.<\/p>\n<p>\nRecognition for the med center&rsquo;s contribution to the fight against Ebola continues to drive momentum. The World Health Organization has since made UNMC a partner in its Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN).<\/p>\n<p>\n<em>Th<\/em><em>r<\/em><em>oug<\/em><em>h world-class research and patient care, UNMC, and its primary clinical partner, Nebraska Medicine, generate breakthroughs that make life better for people throughout Nebraska and beyond.
