Officials from UNK and Nebraska Medicine were joined by other local leaders Tuesday during a reception celebrating construction of the Nebraska Medicine Kearney Cancer Center. Expected to open next year at [UNK’s University Village development](https://www.unk.edu/uvillage/), the new center is an expansion of the partnership between Nebraska Medicine and Heartland Hematology and Oncology that began in December 2021.
