We also maintain a

Our customers with emergencies can feel confident being

Memorial Community Hospital continues to have the lowest wait times of any emergency department in the Omaha area.
As part of MCH's new building and renovation project, scheduled for completion in 2009, a new emergency department is being build. It will have two trauma bays, four private patient rooms, an area for EMS to work from,
an ambulance bay with a canopy, and a decontamination room. It will also feature a refreshment area for family members in the waiting room and a consultation room for privacy with chaplains or if families need to get together in a quiet place for discussion
