Board accepts $200 million donation and approves related Project Health agreements
Summary
Regents approved amendments to a membership agreement and a donation agreement tied to Project Health; the transcript records an earlier reading error of $300 million that was corrected to a $200 million donation and includes naming recognition for a future tower.
The Board of Regents approved two executive items related to Project Health: a first‑amendment to a membership agreement with Clarkson Regional Health Services and a donation agreement documenting a large philanthropic contribution to support project construction.
During discussion a board member noted a reading error in which the amendment was initially read as $300 million; the transcript records the correction that the donation amount is $200 million at closing. The donation agreement includes a university commitment to recognize Clarkson’s contribution by naming a hospital tower (to be called Clarkson Tower or another mutually agreed name) and to display Clarkson’s history and contributions in materials referencing the tower. Additional conditions in the agreement must be met upon receipt of the donation.
Board members thanked Clarkson and the philanthropic partners for their work and professionalism in negotiating the agreements and noted the importance of Nebraska Medicine’s continued excellence and national standing. The motions to approve items 10C1 and 10C2 passed by roll call.
Next steps: Administration will complete conditions of the donation agreement and implement recognition provisions in coordination with Nebraska Medicine and university communications.
