Some cities are justifiably proud of being the home of one major academic health science center.
Omaha, Nebraska, is the home of two. Omaha also is the home of a renowned research hospital for children with communications disorders. Metropolitan Omaha sprawls over 2,500 square miles and five counties with a population of more than 700,000 people. It sits on the east end of Nebraska, one of the top 10 healthiest states in the country. The area has a per capita concentration of patient care, health education and research uncommon in the United States, with 15 full-service hospitals, two pharmacy schools, and five nursing schools.
