Ribbon cut on new Village Pointe Health Center building
Nebraska Medicine cut the ribbon this week on its new facility on the Village Pointe Health Center campus in west Omaha.
The newest building is on the east side of the campus at 17405 Burke St. It is the fourth building at this site.
The addition of the new facility adds several new services to the Village Pointe Health Center, including heart and vascular, orthopaedics, pre-surgical screening, pulmonology and an on-site pharmacy. There also are expanded dermatology offerings.
“The opening of this facility provides even greater access to our highly sought-after specialists in another convenient location,” said Michael Ash, MD, Nebraska Medicine’s executive vice president-chief operating officer.
Said Jim Linder, MD, CEO of Nebraska Medicine, “It takes dedicated teamwork with a lot of special expertise to make it all work right. We’re excited about this ability to expand the services we provide at Village Pointe, to provide a caring environment for our patients and a better work environment for all of our colleagues who provide that care.”
To learn more or schedule appointments, call 1-800-922-0000 or visit Nebraska Medicine online. The outpatient pharmacy will open July 5. The orthopaedic clinic will open July 10, and the heart and vascular clinic will open July 17.
