Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services, with thanks

LINCOLN – The Department of Health and Human Services has received several inquiries from physicians and health care providers expressing concerns about recent radio and television advertisements containing false and misleading information about the Preborn Child Protection Act.

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

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