OUR CARDIAC AND VASCULAR DIAGNOSTIC TESTS COVER A VAST ARRAY OF SOPHISTICATED PROCEDURES INCLUDING INNOVATIVE 3-D IMAGING. ALL TESTS ARE CONDUCTED BY SKILLED PROFESSIONALS WHOSE DEDICATION TO ACCURACY AND EFFICIENCY AS WELL AS PATIENT COMFORT AND SAFETY HELP ENSURE THE PHYSICIAN MAKES THE PROPER DIAGNOSIS.CONTINUOUS PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENTS INDICATE THAT METHODIST HOSPITAL'S OUTCOMES FOR SUCH KEY CARDIAC CARE MEASURES AS 'DOOR-TO-BALLOON RATES', THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO MOVE A HEART PATIENT FROM THE EMERGENCY ROOM ENTRANCE TO LIFESAVING PROCEDURE - ARE CONSISTENTLY BETTER THAN NATIONAL STANDARDS.

THE CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT AND PREVENTION PROGRAM, THE RENAISSANCE HEALTH CLINIC, THE DIABETES INSTITUTE AND THE GERIATRIC EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS ARE AMONG THE MANY COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT AND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH SERVICES OPERATED AT NEGATIVE MARGINS. THE RENAISSANCE HEALTH CLINIC, LOCATED IN NORTH OMAHA, IS AN ONGOING JOINT COMMUNITY PROJECT OF NEBRASKA METHODIST HOSPITAL AND THE SALVATION ARMY THAT HELPS TO MEET THE HEALTH NEEDS OF OMAHA'S LOW-INCOME POPULATION WITHIN AN ATMOSPHERE OF CARING AND RESPECT. ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSES OFFER BOTH WALK-IN AND SCHEDULED APPOINTMENTS. A SLIDING FEE SCALE IS USED BASED ON THE PATIENT'S ABILITY TO PAY.FREE OR LOW-COST SERVICES INCLUDE PHYSICAL EXAMS, TREATMENT OF MINOR AND CHRONIC HEALTH PROBLEMS AND ILLNESSES, PHYSICIAN REFERRALS, HEALTH EDUCATION, FAMILY PLANNING SERVICES, ADOLESCENT ROUTINE CARE, SCHOOL PHYSICALS, HIV TESTING AND RISK COUNSELING, STD TESTING AND TREATMENT, AND TREATMENT FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND DOMESTIC ABUSE.THE SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER AND SEXUAL ASSAULT RESPONSE TEAM (SANE/SART) SURVIVOR PROGRAM, THE LUNG CANCER PROGRAM AND OTHER PROGRAMS AIMED AT CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT AND PREVENTION ARE PROGRAMS TARGETING COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS.SANE/SART PROGRAM:THE SEXUAL ASSAULT NURSE EXAMINER AND SEXUAL ASSAULT RESPONSE TEAM (AKA SANE/SART) SURVIVOR PROGRAM IS A COLLABORATION THAT UNITES METHODIST HOSPITAL WITH GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNITY AGENCIES. THIS PROGRAM, THE ONLY ONE OF ITS KIND IN THE OMAHA METRO AREA, WAS INSTITUTED IN 2003. PRIOR TO THAT, EMERGENCY ROOM CARE AFTER SEXUAL ASSAULT WAS FAR TOO SIMILAR TO EMERGENCY ROOM CARE AFTER AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY. THIS PROGRAM HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED TO PROVIDE ELEMENTS OF PRIVACY AND COMFORT FOR VICTIMS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT. THROUGH SANE/SART, METHODIST HOSPITAL AND ITS AFFILIATES INCLUDING JENNIE EDMUNDSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL IN COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA, OFFER COMPASSIONATE EMERGENCY CARE FROM HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS SPECIFICALLY TRAINED NOT JUST TO MEET THE SURVIVOR'S SPECIAL MEDICAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS, BUT TRAINED ALSO IN PROPER METHODS OF RECOGNIZING AND COLLECTING FORENSIC EVIDENCE.

THEIR NEUTRAL EVIDENCE COLLECTION AND TESTIMONY CAN AID AUTHORITIES IN ANY CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.THE SANE/SART UNIT ALSO OFFERS A PRIVATE LOCATION FOR WOMEN TO BE INTERVIEWED BY POLICE OFFICERS AND TO MEET WITH A WOMEN'S CENTER FOR ADVANCEMENT VICTIM ADVOCATE. THE ADVOCATE HELPS SURVIVORS FIND COUNSELING AND SUPPORT GROUPS AS WELL AS GUIDING THEM THROUGH LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

SOME OF THE PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT WHICH CELEBRATES SURVIVORS AND INSPIRES THE COMMUNITY TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST CANCER; HARPER'S HOPE CANCER SURVIVORSHIP PROGRAM; A YOUNG ADULT SURVIVOR'S NETWORK; BREAST CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS AND PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS.HARPER'S HOPE EXPRESSES THE MEANING OF CARE AT EVERY TURN OF THE CANCER JOURNEY. MAIN PROGRAM COMPONENTS INCLUDE SOCIAL WORK, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH/COUNSELING, NUTRITION SERVICES, PHYSICAL WELLNESS AND CANCER PREVENTION AND HEREDITARY RISK ASSESSMENT. THESE RESOURCES HELP PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS LIVE WITH, THROUGH AND BEYOND THE CANCER DIAGNOSIS.SUICIDE - THE TRAGIC OUTCOME OF MENTAL ILLNESS - CAN BE PREVENTED. BUT IT TAKES RECOGNITION OF THE PROBLEM, REFERRALS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND PARTNERSHIPS AMONG KEY PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY. METHODIST HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY COUNSELING PROGRAM DIRECTLY SERVES OVER 20,000 IN OMAHA AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WHILE ELEVATING THE OVERALL HEALTH AND EDUCATION IN THE REGION. THIS UNIQUE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE METHODIST HOSPITAL AND THE OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS BRINGS PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING SERVICES TO THOSE WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE NO ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE. A TEAM OF LICENSED, MASTERS-LEVEL COUNSELORS FROM METHODIST HOSPITAL MAINTAIN OFFICE HOURS AT SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. THE PROGRAM ALONG WITH OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNER PROGRAMS IS PAYING OFF. AMONG VULNERABLE ADOLESCENTS 17 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER, THE SUICIDE RATES HAVE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH AN 81% DECREASE FROM 2005 TO 2009 AS REPORTED IN THE 2010 LIVEWELL OMAHA COMMUNITY REPORT CARD.METHODIST HOSPITAL AND METHODIST WOMEN'S HOSPITAL CONTRACT WITH AN ELIGIBILITY SERVICE TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS IN DETERMINING ELIGIBILITY AND COMPLETING THE REQUIRED PAPERWORK TO PARTICIPATE IN MEDICAID OR GOVERNMENT MEANS-TESTED PROGRAMS.
