University of Nebraska Board to Consider Major Health Care Infrastructure Plan
What happened
The University of Nebraska Board of Regents has scheduled a meeting for October 9 to discuss the future of healthcare infrastructure in the state. A key agenda item involves considering a revised program statement for Project Health, which is the future primary teaching hospital for the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medicine. Since the original program statement was approved in June 2024, clinical leadership from Nebraska Medicine has indicated that more space will be needed to support greater patient volumes and higher learner enrollment.

Why it matters
The project aims to expand and modernize clinical capacity to handle complex patient needs referred from across the region. This expansion is necessary to ensure the hospital can meet the future health care and workforce requirements of Nebraska. The project also allows for the retirement of aging facilities, including Clarkson Tower.
The University of Nebraska Medical Center is currently providing mental health statistics relevant to the state of Nebraska.
