Through their sacrificial giving, Nebraska's charitable community has again empowered those of us entrusted with the extraordinary position of leadership in government to do things that are smart, visionary, and fiscally sound. Thanks to this remarkable public-private collaboration, the Davis Global Center will keep the University of Nebraska Medical Center at the leading edge of health care treatment, teaching, training, and research, Fortenberry added. "The impressive new Davis Global Center will house the iEXCEL Program, a transformative model for health education that incorporates advanced simulation and visualization technologies to improve patient care.
