Chief Medical Officer Issues Health Alert Due to Misinformation

The Department of Health and Human Services has received several inquiries, from physicians and health care providers, expressing concern regarding recent radio and television ads that included incorrect and misleading information regarding the Preborn Child Protection Act.

Any time misleading information causes confusion among health care providers, it could cause harm to the health and well-being of their patients. Chief Medical Officer Timothy Tesmer has issued a Health Alert Network (HAN) to clarify the law.

Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services uses HANs for coordinating and distributing important information about public health incidents and prevention/treatment guidelines to health care providers and hospitals.
