It&#8217;s a problem; it&#8217;s serious; we&#8217;re going to &#8216;science the heck out of it.&#8217; And as a consequence, hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people&#8217;s lives were saved.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>UNMC Chancellor Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., was among those attending the President&#8217;s speech Wednesday at Baxter Arena.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The president&#8217;s comments about UNMC were very much appreciated,&#8221; Dr. Gold said. &#8220;Our dedicated approach to challenging problems, such as the worldwide Ebola epidemic, embodies the spirit of our institution and our community. We continue to lead in this area on a national level through the National Ebola Training and Education Center, here at UNMC and Nebraska Medicine. The president&#8217;s recognition of what academic health centers do best, serious medicine and truly extraordinary care is right on; Mr. President, thanks for the call-out!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last February, President Obama also acknowledged the medical center&#8217;s role during an event that recognized the U.S. response to the Ebola crisis. At that time, he referenced Richard Sacra, M.D., &#8220;who received world-class care at Nebraska Medical Center.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President
