The Nebraska Medical Center's
Office of International Healthcare Services:

With the search for new and innovative treatments, our primary focus is people. International Healthcare Services has helped bring hundreds of patients from around the globe to Omaha for treatment.

We assist in providing patients and their families obtain access to the world renowned services and expert medical and nursing care provided at The Nebraska Medical Center/The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC).

With a single call from you or a referring physician, International Healthcare Services will assign a patient-care coordinator to organize all aspects of your visit to our facility.

We provide a level of service beyond expectations:

- Comprehensive and culturally sensitive services for our International and US patients include all aspects of patients' and their families? medical and personal comfort. With the search for new and innovative treatments, our primary focus is the well being of patients.

- Our healthcare providers and all of our employees put our patients and their families first, treating them with warmth and compassion just as we would want our own family members treated. We provide inpatient and outpatient diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer and related diseases in a comforting, friendly, state-of-the-art environment.

- Early detection of disease is a major step toward a successful outcome. It is a sad fact that often when an international patient arrives for treatment in the US, the disease has often reached an advanced stage and limited treatment options may be available. We work closely with referring physicians to determine the most appropriate treatment plan and to prevent potentially dangerous time delays.

-Just one call to our International Healthcare Services department and we will assist you in the whole process of transferring a patient to UNMC. We will help with the transfer of patient records, keeping the referring physician updated on their patient?s progress, visa process, translations, local transportation, accommodations, special dietary requirements, sight-seeing, shopping and anything else that a patient may require while undergoing treatment at our Center.
