We are saddened to share the news of the passing of Bruce Hageman, husband of longtime faculty leader and cherished member of our alumni community, Dr. Pat Hageman. Many of our graduates and colleagues knew Bruce for his warm presence and unwavering support of Pat’s work and of the physical therapy profession.

In honor of Bruce’s memory, the family requests that memorial contributions be directed to:
• Nebraska Stroke Association, or
• University of Nebraska Foundation for the Pat & Bruce Hageman Physical Therapy Alumni Scholarship Fund.

Our thoughts are with Pat and her family during this difficult time.
