Nebraska Medicine announced plans to construct the Farnam Health Center, a new four-story health center on the southeast corner of 42nd and Farnam streets in Omaha’s Blackstone District. The $99.3 million project is partially funded by donors and is set to open in September 2027, with construction expected to be completed in summer 2027.
Services and Mission
The Farnam Health Center will offer dermatology, general internal medicine, outpatient gastrointestinal services, and behavioral health services. The facility will serve as the main location for the dermatology program and is designed to meet increasing demand for outpatient GI and behavioral health services. According to CEO Michael Ash, MD, “We know there is an urgent need for Behavioral Health services in the community. This project is a meaningful step toward expanding our world-class care and supporting those who rely on us.”
Strategic Expansion
The health center represents Nebraska Medicine’s commitment to addressing community healthcare needs in an expanding area of Omaha. The location in the Blackstone District provides accessibility for patients seeking comprehensive outpatient care across multiple specialties, consolidating services that historically required visits to multiple facilities.
