Nebraska Medicine

Nebraska Medicine is the region's most esteemed academic health system and the primary clinical partner of the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC). Founded in 1869 with the establishment of Omaha's first hospital, the organisation operates as a $2.5 billion enterprise employing more than 10,000 people across Nebraska, with its principal sites in Omaha and Bellevue. Its standing is unusually durable: U.S. News & World Report has named it the Best Hospital in Nebraska for 13 consecutive years.

The system's clinical reach is broad and specialised. It runs two major hospitals - the flagship Nebraska Medical Center and Bellevue Medical Center - together holding 809 licensed beds, alongside more than 70 specialty and primary care clinics throughout the state. Care is delivered by over 1,400 affiliated physicians spanning 50 specialties and subspecialties, supporting millions of patient visits each year. Distinctive areas of depth include cancer care, organ transplantation and infectious disease treatment.

As an academic health system, Nebraska Medicine couples clinical practice with research and education through its partnership with UNMC, working at the intersection of academic medicine and clinical research. The institution describes its culture as one that combines cutting-edge research with compassionate care, with a stated mission to transform lives and create a healthier future for all communities.
