Last night, the Nebraska Medical Association proudly recognized our physician members who began their medical careers in 1975 and have dedicated fifty years to medicine, their patients, and to the mission of the NMA at our 50-Year Physician Recognition Banquet.

This truly special evening was about more than marking time—it was about recognizing a lifetime of compassion, healing, resilience, and service.

Our honorees have witnessed medicine evolve in ways once unimaginable, yet through it all, they remained steady in their purpose. They are pioneers, role models, and keepers of a legacy that continues to inspire generations of physicians.

On behalf of the NMA Board of Directors and our members, we thank you for your dedication, your impact, and the countless lives you’ve touched over the past five decades.

Congratulations to our 50-Year Honorees!

As students return to campus for another year of medical school, we’re reminded of the important role of the patient-physician relationship. Students are preparing to be caring and trusted healers, and advocates for their patients, their communities, and their profession.

Becoming a doctor is about more than clinical acumen, says the AMA’s board chair. It’s about advocating for patients and the profession.

We were proud to host our Medical Student Welcome at Corkscrew this evening! Students had the chance to connect with peers and NMA physician members over good conversation, small bites, and plenty of energy.

We’re excited to cheer on the next generation of physicians as they begin their journey in medicine!

We’re so proud of what the Nebraska Medical Foundation has built with LifeBridge Nebraska to support physicians across the state. ♥️🩺♥️ Huge thanks to Dr. Joann Schaefer and her colleagues for leading the way - this is what caring for physicians and advocating for patients is all about.

Healthcare workers are still feeling the emotional toll of the pandemic — but in Nebraska, there's no state program to help doctors or nurses cope with burnout, depression or addiction. A new group called LifeBridge is stepping in to offer confidential support before it’s too late.
