If they are going to make design changes, I sure hope they correct the reception area. When I worked in the Emergency Department there I would always hear from the people who work in Emergency Reception that they have no protection during a lock down. I was there once during trauma night when a few members of a gang showed up with bullet wounds. It was pretty tense.
Nebraska Medicine and soon Bergan are level I trauma centers, I believe other hospital in Omaha is a level II. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Isn't Children's a Pediatric Level II?
The other Level II are Bryan in Lincoln, Good Samaritan in Kearney, and Regional West in Scottsbluff.
Creighton is still a Level 1 as far as I know.
Hmm well I searched Nebraska trauma centers from that link and there's only one listed for Omaha (children's) so are UNMC Bergan, Creighton, Immanuel etc not officially recognized?

The skate-a-thon was the idea of an Omaha couple, Ted and the late Colleen Wuebben, who hosted their own skate-a-thon by flooding their back yard. Colleen was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2005 at the age of 52. She died in 2013. Even after Colleen's death, Ted and their five children have continued to hold the 24-hour skating event. Since moving the skate-a-thon to UNMC in 2011, the event has raised more than $140,000. An all-time record 540 skaters participated in 2015.

Isn't that the area they hope to put in a multi-use development?
Yes, it's been a plan for UNMC for quite a while. here
But did any of that ever come to fruition? Given recent discussion in this space, it appears that the plans are just as vague now as when that article was written 30+ months ago.

This would include the Omaha Steel property and would be a development similar to Midtown Crossing. Saddle Creek Road won't be changed but they hope to solve the flooding issues at Dodge and Saddle Creek. A private developer will be sought.
They also hoped to have that land cleaned up by December.
I'm still amazed "Nebraska Medicine" performed well in focus groups, if you think about it it's no better than Kansas Medicine or Missouri medicine to outsiders. With medical tourism becoming a bfd... I'm sure when people from the coasts etc hear Nebraska Mecien they think grandpapy's special caugh syrup type stuff.

I posted this in Oct. (3 months ago)
My bad! Thanks for passing this along.
Work continues on the land on the north side of the site. Lots of trucks coming and going.

I used to work with a guy in Los Angeles who came to Omaha all the time for some kind of treatment at the Med Center. He said he encountered many people who traveled there for medical treatment.
I know MTO was interested in the walkway between Lauritzen and Truhlsen, so here's a picture of it still not finished. There is a concrete floor on the walkway and windows should be started next week.
Also, look in the center of the picture and you can see there are walls going up for the sterilization plant.
And here is the hole for the iExcel. It's getting deep and the pilings are being prepared just to the south.
This is the webcam that overlooks the iExcel construction. Try this and let me know if it works for you. If not, it might just be on intranet for UNMC/NebMed employees.
