Nebraska Medicine is moving forward with plans to build a new outpatient clinic in north Omaha. The clinic will be located just east of the intersection of 50th and Ames Ave. on the northern edge of the Omaha Home for Boys campus.
Nebraska Medicine currently operates a clinic on the northside of Ames Ave near Walmart. That one will close when the new building opens across the street. “We’re proud to not only continue to serve patients in north Omaha, we’re excited to expand our offerings,” says Dr. Dan DeBehnke, president and CEO of Nebraska Medicine. “Our new clinic model has been very well received in other areas of the metro, and we want north Omaha residents to continue to have access to the same high level of care we provide everywhere else. And to be able to partner with the Omaha Home for Boys on this effort was a win-win.”
When the clinic opens, it will be the fourth new primary care clinic Nebraska Medicine has opened in the last two years. The three other clinics are: Nebraska Medicine – Brentwood Village, Nebraska Medicine – Chalco and Nebraska Medicine – Elkhorn, which will open in April.
“This clinic will be a wonderful resource for this community, our youth and our staff,” said Jeff DeWispelare, president and CEO of the Omaha Home for Boys. “Both Nebraska Medicine and the Omaha Home for Boys have deep roots and a longstanding history of service to this community, so this was obviously a perfect fit.”
Nebraska Medicine has a total of 16 outpatient clinics located in Omaha and other communities in Nebraska.
