The theme of this year&#8217;s summit was, &#8220;Health Care and Education: An Emerging Partnership.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was an excellent summit,&#8221; said Bob Bartee, vice chancellor for external affairs at UNMC and one of the organizers of the event. &#8220;In the nine years the summit has been held, this is the largest attendance in the history of the event. The speakers were outstanding and the panel discussions were invigorating. I think everyone benefited from the information that was shared.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sharon Hoover, Ph.D., co-director of the Center for School Mental Health, delivered the keynote address. A licensed clinical psychologist, Dr. Hoover is an associate professor in the division of child and adolescent psychiatry at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hoover is a leading figure in advancing school mental health research, training, policy and practice at the national, state, and local levels. She made her case for how school-based health is the key for producing safe and successful students. <\/p>\n<p>Another highlight of the summit was an education panel looking at state trends in partnerships between health providers and K-12 schools. Maddie Fennell, executive director of the Nebraska State Education Association, served as moderator. Panelists included: Jack Bangert, a teacher at Omaha South High School; John Spatz, executive director, Nebraska Association of School Boards; Tawana Grover, Ed.D., Ph.D., superintendent, Grand Island Public Schools; and Howard Liu, M.D., interim chair of the UNMC Department of Psychiatry and director of Behavioral Health Education Center of Nebraska (BHECN).<\/p>\n<p>Three Nebraska state senators &#8212; Lou Ann Linehan, Tony Vargas and Rick Kolowski &#8212; participated in a second panel discussion, which looked at policy priorities raised by the audience. Liz Lyons, director of advocacy and government affairs at Children&#8217;s Hospital &#038; Medical Center, served as moderator. <\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey P. Gold, M.D., chancellor of UNMC and the University of Nebraska at Omaha, delivered the welcome, while Bartee made closing comments.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ninth annual statewide event, hosted by UNMC, draws more than 200
