Nebraska Nursing Facility Gets $15M to Reduce Rural Healthcare Shortage

The University of Nebraska at Kearny has received a $15 million grant to expand its nursing education program in an effort to reduce the shortage of healthcare professionals in rural areas of the state, according to a Kearney Hub report.

The university will build a 30,000 square-foot facility to increase teaching and research space for nursing education. The building will also house an expansion of UNMC's School of Allied Health Professions, which includes training programs for diagnostic medical sonography, physician assistants, physical therapy and radiography.

The grant is part of the Building a Healthier Nebraska initiative, which sought a $91 million investment from the state to support construction projects in Omaha, Lincoln and Kearney.
