Description
Gail Walling Yanney, MD, and Michael Yanney have dedicated decades of service through contributions to medicine and health programs for the state of Nebraska and for UNMC.
The Yanneys are both University of Nebraska alumni who have individually served on numerous boards and have been recognized with hosts of honors. Mr. Yanney graduated from Kearney State Teacher’s College and has worked in business and investment industries for more than 58 years. He founded Burlington Capital in 1984 and currently serves as chair emeritus. Dr. Walling Yanney is a graduate of UNMC and served as a clinical instructor for the university while practicing as an anesthesiologist at Bishop Clarkson Memorial Hospital. She retired from practice in 1986.
The Yanneys’ leadership was instrumental in securing the public-private partnership that resulted in the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center and in creating the medical center’s Healing Arts Program. They also supported the Harold M. and Beverly Maurer Center for Public Health, home to the College of Public Health. The Yanneys were key players in establishing the chancellor’s "kitchen cabinet," bringing Omaha's most powerful business leaders into the UNMC fold. The couple served as co-chairs of the NU Foundation’s Campaign for Nebraska UNMC Committee.
