Nebraska Medicine has been named to Becker’s Hospital Review’s “100 hospitals and health systems with great heart programs,” recognizing health organizations that are setting the standard for cardiovascular care through exceptional outcomes, life-saving technology, and groundbreaking research.

Nebraska Medicine was highlighted for performing several first-in-state heart procedures, offering 25 active clinical trials, and providing patients with access to the state’s only adult heart transplant program, which has performed more than 600 transplants. In addition, the heart team was recently recognized by the Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Association as a center of excellence and the heart failure program received the American Heart Association’s “Get with the Guidelines—Heart Failure Gold Plus Performance Award.”

Nebraska Medicine is the only health system in the state to make the list.

“This honor by Becker’s shows our team’s commitment to finding the best solution for every patient’s unique needs,” says Shane Tsai, MD, chief of cardiovascular medicine. “From minimally invasive procedures that offer better quality of life to finding new ways to treat high blood pressure, our goal is to make hearts healthier while advancing technology for future generations.”

“The Heart and Vascular team at Nebraska Medicine brings together exceptional expertise, cutting-edge treatments, and compassionate care for patients with the most challenging cardiovascular conditions,” says Michael Moulton, MD, chief of cardiothoracic surgery. “Our team is among the very best, and this recognition reflects their unwavering commitment to delivering outstanding care to every patient, every day.”

The Becker’s editorial team selected programs based on recent recognitions and achievements, with sources including U.S. News & World Report, Newsweek, Healthgrades, and others. Becker’s also accepts nominations for the list.

That’s 1,000! 🎉

Our Cardiology team recently completed Nebraska Medicine’s 1,000th WATCHMAN implant. WATCHMAN helps reduce stroke risk in people with AFib by closing off an area of the heart where blood clots can form.

But here’s another number we’re proud of: 160. That’s how many times our team has combined cardiac ablation (another way to prevent AFib) and WATCHMAN, far more than any other program in the region.

Congratulations to the entire team behind these milestones! Learn more about our Heart and Vascular program by visiting https://bit.ly/4ejLFuc

A great way to help save lives!

46 PEOPLE. ONE ALERT. ONE COMMUNITY READY TO HELP.

Yesterday, October 14, a cardiac emergency near Nebraska Medical Center triggered a PulsePoint CPR Needed alert.

Within moments, 46 registered PulsePoint responders in the surrounding area received a notification that someone nearby needed help.

Think about that.

46 people who had taken the step to register as potential lifesavers. 46 people who could be alerted when every second matters.
This is what community preparedness looks like.

When PulsePoint launched across Douglas, Sarpy, and Washington Counties earlier this year, it was about more than introducing a new app. It was about building a community of people ready to step forward when someone needs them most.

Our regional hospital partners have been instrumental in making that vision a reality, providing financial support, educating employees, and encouraging the public to become PulsePoint responders.

Today, we want to give a special shoutout to Nebraska Medicine!

Their commitment to building awareness and encouraging participation is helping create a stronger, more prepared community.

And here's the best part: You don't have to work in healthcare to be part of it.

Whether you're a teacher, a construction worker, a college student, or simply someone who wants to help a neighbor, you can be part of this lifesaving network.

READY TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Download the FREE PulsePoint Respond app, enable CPR alerts, and help us build a community where someone in cardiac arrest has the greatest possible chance of receiving help quickly.

Because when seconds matter, having someone nearby who's ready to help can make all the difference.

Thank you, Nebraska Medicine, and all of our regional partners for helping make our communities safer.

"Don't go anywhere else. Go to Nebraska."

There is no place like Nebraska. Just ask Mike Burg, a Los Angeles TV producer who is celebrating a major milestone in his cancer journey.

Mike is sharing why he turned to the NCI-designated Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center for care when he needed it most. Read this article to find out what brought him here and why he keeps coming back.

Mike Burg never expected to spend two months in Nebraska. So, when the television producer found himself recovering from an autologous stem cell transplant, he did what he felt he had to do.

Have you seen it? A major piece of a familiar Dale Chihuly sculpture is now in place at 42nd and Farnam. Later in construction, artists from Chihuly Studios will carefully place each glass element onto the sculpture. Watch this video to see the journey so far.

Trick or treat, smiles so sweet. 🎃
Our NICU reunion can't be beat! ❤️

This past weekend, more than fifty families of NICU graduates returned to Nebraska Medical Center to reunite with the teams who cared for their babies.

Once the tiniest patients in the hospital, these kids are now thriving. They had a blast playing games, visiting the trick-or-treat stations, and sharing hugs and memories with our NICU colleagues.

Thank you to every family, team member and volunteer who made this event so special!
