Speaker: Taylor Wilson, Nebraska Medicine

 Taylor Wilson (Nebraska Medicine) speaking at the Kiwanis luncheon on December 22. 

Taylor Wilson is the Media Relations Coordinator for the Nebraska Medical Center, now also known as Nebraska Medicine.  His presentation focused on how the Center prepared and managed the bio-containment suite for treating Ebola this year.  He applauded the medical staff both for the way they handled their respective duties for treating patients and how they conducted themselves with the media.  Taylor mentioned the enormous coverage the Medical Center received worldwide; that this “free” publicity had and will continue to provide focus on the facilities and staff at the Center.  He especially credited Kate Snow of NBC news for her in-depth reporting.  He said he was in constant communication with local, national and international media as frequent updates became the norm.
