Children's Nebraska

The pediatric mental health crisis is real, and one-third of Nebraska counties lack a behavioral health provider. That's why Children's Nebraska is committed to expanding access to mental healthcare for children and adolescents, most recently with the new Behavioral Health Urgent Care - Kearney facility. Our team stands ready to help Central Nebraska youth up to 22 years of age and their families when experiencing a behavioral or mental health crisis – a critical time when care can't wait. Watch to learn more about the first walk-in clinic of its kind statewide, bringing an innovative model of pediatric mental healthcare to a rural setting. #BelieveInBetter #pediatrics #mentalhealth #behavioralhealth #Kearney #Nebraska

Our 2nd annual Sickle Cell Family Education Day brought together 21 families and 41 generous volunteers for a jam-packed day of connection and education. Hosted by Children’s Nebraska, in partnership with Nebraska Medicine and the Nebraska Chapter of the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation, families affected by sickle cell had the opportunity to hear from Hematology team members and providers, engage in Q&As, network with other families and enjoy interactive activities and games. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us, volunteered and shared their expertise.

In 2019, Raanan became just the 28th person worldwide to be diagnosed with a rare genetic condition called CLTC-related disorder, and he now sees a multidisciplinary team of pediatric specialists at Children's Nebraska for his ongoing care needs. The 7-year-old from Missouri Valley, Iowa, shares a special bond with physical therapist Angie Pereira-Burbach from our Rehabilitation Services team. For the last year, Raanan and Angie have addressed balance and strength challenges by learning to ride a bike and other activities in his PT sessions. As Raanan neared the end of his most recent round of therapy, Angie went above and beyond to find him a bike of his very own, custom-modified to his needs and decorated with all his favorite things. Watch to see Raanan receive his new-to-him bike at Children's – a moment long in the making thanks to hard work, an expert team and a whole lot of love and care for a young patient.
