CHI Health Immanuel Medical Center sits on the main entrance of its Omaha campus, and you'll find it offers many types of care in one place, which is helpful when people want services all together and don't want to go all over town for different things, so you'll see a big hospital with 276 beds and 14 bassinets, and they've got a Specialty Spine Hospital, a Rehabilitation Center, a Cancer Center, and psychiatric care with 85 beds, plus burn care and physical rehab with 44 beds, which means a person can stay for many reasons and families don't have to fuss over moving loved ones so much. The staff there provides care for many medical conditions-including diabetes, cancer, sleep disorders, and heart problems-with departments for Allergy & Immunology, Family Medicine, Cardiac ICU, Medical Surgical ICU (24 beds), Pediatric ICU, Neonatal ICU, and help with things like fractures and tumor surgeries, and there's even a focus on spine procedures like spinal fusion and motion preservation, and people like the spine education and special class for that, along with patient education videos, which I think helps people understand what they're facing.
They use PET scans, MRI machines, have diagnostic radiology, and treatments like CyberKnife and High Dose Rate Brachytherapy, which aren't everywhere, so if someone has cancer or needs special surgery like colon, esophageal, or cardiovascular, they can get those taken care of here, and there's coverage for digestive and liver issues too. The place has a Psychiatric and Psychology team for mental health, with personalized care in individual and group settings, and they can do psychiatric evaluations; it seems thorough, especially considering their 85-bed unit, and folks appreciate experienced support during rough patches. Pediatrics are part of the Children's Hospital and Medical Center there, so babies and children get the special kind of care little ones need, plus neonatal and perinatal medicine are right on site.
For folks needing therapy, you'll find hand therapy, lymphedema therapy, pain management, aquatic therapy, and advanced neurology rehabilitation, so you don't need to run all over town-people can work through their recovery in one location. There's support for new mothers with nap times, a birth center, blood bank, and no restriction on patient visitation hours, making it easier for families to visit. The amenities, like air conditioning and wheelchair access, along with onsite parking and restrooms, make most visits comfortable, and the place is open enough for people with different needs, and you can get audiology, bariatric surgery, maternal and fetal medicine, and geriatric care, and drive right up using their posted directions.
People say the hospital is recognized for excellence, with some parts winning awards based on rankings and a strict research approach for selecting providers, and their provider portal gives doctors access to resources. You won't find a trauma center here, but the hospital's focus covers a lot of ground in other areas, and when you need lots of specialty medical services in the Omaha area, you'll find most of them on the Immanuel Medical Center campus.
