University of Nebraska system
Nebraska Health System was renamed The Nebraska Medical Center in 2003, with the adjacent University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) remaining its primary clinical partner. UNMC had been founded in 1881 as the Omaha Medical College before associating with the University of Nebraska system. In 2005, The Nebraska Medical Center opened the Nebraska Biocontainment Unit (NBU) as a collaboration with UNMC, also opening the Hixson-Lied Center on the Omaha campus. The Nebraska Medical Center's nearby Village Pointe Cancer Center opened in 2008. Nebraska Medicine was named one of the best hospitals in "U.S. News &amp; World Report"’s 2008 publication for Cancer and Neurology &amp; Neurosurgery. In 2010, The Nebraska Medical Center opened Bellevue Medical Center, a secondary hospital in nearby Bellevue, Sarpy County. The following year, the company began to implement a new $87 million electronic health record system.
