Nebraska Medicine announced Tuesday that it’s building a new four-story health center in Omaha near 42nd and Farnam streets. The announcement from the hospital system called the new $99 million development the “Farnam Health Center.”
The hospital system said the construction will be partially funded by private donors. Construction should be finished in the summer of 2027 and open to patients that in September. The other chunk of funding will come from Nebraska Medicine, according to a spokesperson.
A news release about the announcement said hospital leaders are aiming to improve access to “in-demand” services.
The center will become the main location for Nebraska Medicine’s Dermatology program and will hope to treat people for outpatient gastrointestinal care and offer behavioral health services. It will also offer internal medicine health care.
Nebraska Medicine CEO Dr. Michael Ash said the services are “highly sought-after specialty care.”
“We know there is an urgent need for behavioral health services in the community,” he said. “This project is a meaningful step toward expanding our world-class care and supporting those who rely on us.”
