Heavy rains spurred massive flooding and widespread damage along the Elkhorn River in June in Norfolk and area communities. On one stretch of the river, three Nebraska Central Railroad employees fell into the river when a bridge collapsed because of rising water. Two were located and

safely got out of the river. A search ensued for Jeff Scholl, whose body was later found under the wreckage of the collapsed bridge.

bed tower facility boasts three floors of 39 patient rooms, not to mention a fourth floor of the same size left available for possible future expansion.

To address a shortage of nurses in the area, Northeast and the University of Nebraska Medical Center teamed up to raise funds and bring the $11.9 million nursing college to Norfolk.
