The quilts were donated to NHS by the Project Linus group. NHS will also reach out to the community. On March 24 NHS will set up a medical play area at the Omaha Children's Museum. Kids from all over the community can dress up in hospital scrubs and play hospital right along side hospital staff members. NHS nurses, Child Life experts and other health-care workers make up skits and songs to entertain patients and their families.
Media is welcome to attend any of the above events.
NHS is comprised of the former Clarkson Hospital, the first hospital in Nebraska, and the former University Hospital, the primary teaching facility for the University of Nebraska Medical Center. NHS is constantly improving the standard of care in the communities it serves. The health system physicians operate more than 300 outpatient clinics in 100 communities in four states and recently developed an affiliation with Shenandoah Memorial Hospital in southwestern Iowa. The NHS Clarkson West facility provides the only 24 hour emergency service in west Omaha. UNMC is the only public academic health science center in the state.
