Immanuel Medical Center is a hospital located in Omaha, Nebraska. It is part of CHI Health.
History[edit | edit source]
Immanuel Medical Center was established in December 1890 to serve the Swedish population in Omaha. It was founded by Pastor E. A. Fogelstrom and the Evangelical Lutheran Immanuel Association for Works for Charity. The hospital initially had four deaconesses providing care.[1][2]
Due to increasing community needs, a new hospital was opened in 1910, and the original building became the Nazareth Home for the elderly and disabled. In 1926, a third hospital was opened on the same site, with the first two buildings being remodeled to expand services for the elderly and disabled. The hospital underwent further growth and reconstruction in the 1950s, including the addition of a six-story wing.[3]
In the 1960s, plans were made to expand Immanuel Medical Center to meet growing healthcare demands. The current site at 72nd and Sorensen Parkway was purchased in 1966, and the new Immanuel Medical Center opened on June 29, 1974. In 1996, Immanuel Medical Center joined forces with Bergan Mercy Health System to form Alegent Health, now known as CHI Health.[4]
