At Children’s Nebraska, our mission is to improve the life of every child through exceptional care, advocacy, research and education. As the region’s only freestanding pediatric health system, we are committed to delivering world-class expertise close to home — from primary care to more than 50 pediatric specialty services serving families across a five-state region and beyond. Children’s is home to Nebraska’s only Level IV regional neonatal intensive care unit, the state’s first and only Level I pediatric trauma center, and Nebraska’s only nationally ranked Level 4 epilepsy center dedicated exclusively to children. We are proud to be recognized as a 2025-26 Best Children’s Hospital by U.S. News & World Report, ranked among the nation’s best in nephrology, neurology and neurosurgery, and pulmonology and lung surgery. As an independent, nonprofit organization, we lead with a People First philosophy that emphasizes safety, belonging and shared purpose. We celebrate a diverse, inclusive environment where every team member can bring their authentic selves to work and thrive personally and professionally. Wellbeing is a strategic priority, with programs and initiatives in place to support team members’ mental, social, emotional, physical and financial wellbeing. Children’s Nebraska is consistently recognized for excellence as an employer, including being named a top in-state employer by Forbes and receiving the Women’s Choice Award for Best Hospitals. Children’s also is the only healthcare system in the state to earn the Gold Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health from Mental Health America. Together, our providers, researchers, nurses and team members are redefining what’s possible in pediatric healthcare and strengthening the future of children and families in our communities.
