Jerrad Hertzler, M.D. (I ’67, N ’70)

Jerry was raised in Newton, where he attended Newton High School and then graduated with honors from the University of Kansas undergraduate and Medical School. After two years in the United States Air Force, he went on to study Neurology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Thereafter, he returned to Omaha, Nebraska, where he joined Dr. Harold Ladwig in a highly successful practice of neurology. Together, they organized the Omaha Neurological Clinic.
