I have helped many families moving to Omaha. Contact me if you have any questions about the Omaha area or need help buying a home.
Three big hospital “systems” dominate the Omaha area. Almost every hospital, and many Omaha clinics are owned by one of three companies… CHI Health, Methodist Health System and Nebraska Medicine.
CHI Health
Headquartered in Omaha, CHI Health operates a number of medical centers in the city.
CHI Health operates the Creighton University Medical Center – Bergan Mercy. It’s located in midtown Omaha near Aksarben.
In addition, the company operates CHI Health Immanuel in north Omaha and CHI Health Lakeside in west Omaha, and CHI Health Midlands in Papillion.
CHI Health does have the naming rights to the arena and convention center downtown (CHI Health Center Omaha).
Methodist Hospital
Another large hospital in Omaha is Methodist Hospital near 84th and Dodge.
Methodist Women’s Hospital in west Omaha is where many babies in the area are born including my son.
Methodist operates dozens of clinics and surgery centers in the area.

Nebraska Medicine is a massive medical facility in midtown Omaha. It is home to the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the Lied Transplant Center.
The same company operates Nebraska Medicine Bellevue and the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center.
