Nebraska Cures

Nebraska Cures is heading to Kearney to honor one of central Nebraska's greatest champions for health and research. As the longest-serving chancellor in University of Nebraska history, Doug Kristensen spent 22 years expanding healthcare education in rural Nebraska — including helping bring the health sciences programs that now serve hundreds of students to UNK's campus.

Join us August 20 as we celebrate our 25th anniversary and recognize Doug as our Life Saver honoree.
