** Immanuel Medical Center **
Welcome to Immanuel Medical Center, where we heal the body, mind and spirit of every person with high-quality, patient-focused care. Our campus, designed from the patient's viewpoint, sets the tone for a comfortable, less stressful hospital stay. Our full continuum of medical services range from heart & vascular care, cancer, emergency, mental health, bariatrics, senior care, orthopaedics and a new rehabilitation center to a nationally recognized spine program.
** About Immanuel Medical Center **
Alegent Health Immanuel Medical Center started with the dream of one man, Pastor E. A. Fogelstrom. The support of the Lutheran Church and the hard work of dedicated deaconesses helped make his dream a reality. Immanuel admitted its first patient on December 20, 1890.
The community‘s needs outpaced the first hospital, located at 36th and Meredith, and a new hospital was opened in 1910 in the same area. The original building became the Nazareth Home, which served people who were elderly and those who had severe disabilities.
The need for hospital beds continued to grow and a third hospital was opened on the 36th and Meredith site in 1926. The first two buildings were remodeled and services for the elderly and those with disabilities were expanded. During the 1950's there was a period of growth and reconstruction, and a six-story hospital wing doubled the size of the hospital.
Planning for the current Immanuel Medical Center began in the early 1960s when it became apparent that, in order to meet its healthcare commitments, Immanuel would have to expand. The present 166-acre site at 72nd and Sorensen Parkway was purchased in 1966. The new Immanuel Medical Center opened on June 29, 1974.
Recognizing the benefits of alliances in healthcare, Bergan Mercy Health System and Immanuel Medical Center came together to form Alegent Health in June 1996.
