CHI Health Creighton University Medical Center is the academic medical flagship of CommonSpirit Health's Nebraska network, combining the resources of a major faith-based health system with the academic mission of Creighton University's Health Sciences programs. As a tertiary referral center for Nebraska, Iowa, and surrounding states, the medical center offers subspecialty services and clinical trial access that may not be available at community hospitals. The hospital serves as a Level II Trauma Center with 24/7 surgical coverage for the most severely injured patients in the region. Its cardiac program includes interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, structural heart procedures, and open cardiac surgery — positioned as one of the most comprehensive cardiovascular programs in the Great Plains region. Neurosurgery and complex neurology services, including a comprehensive stroke program and dedicated neuro-ICU, provide advanced care for patients with serious neurological conditions. CHI Health Creighton's cancer program participates in national clinical trials through Creighton University's research infrastructure. Kidney transplantation, complex gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary surgery, and vascular surgery complete the tertiary capabilities. Medical education, nursing education, and pharmacy training programs create a dynamic learning environment that drives clinical excellence throughout the organization.
