CANCER PROGRAMS:BATTLING CANCER INCLUDES MORE THAN MEDICAL RESEARCH AND CLINICAL TECHNOLOGY. METHODIST HOSPITAL TAKES A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH AND PROVIDES PROGRAMS AND EDUCATION. THE METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER SPONSORS A RANGE OF EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY EVENTS FOCUSED ON INCREASING CANCER AWARENESS AND PROMOTING THE HEALING OF CANCER SURVIVORS. SOME OF THE PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE RELAY FOR LIFE EVENT WHICH CELEBRATES SURVIVORS AND INSPIRES THE COMMUNITY TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST CANCER; HARPER'S HOPE CANCER SURVIVORSHIP PROGRAM; A YOUNG ADULT SURVIVOR'S NETWORK; BREAST CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS AND PROSTATE CANCER SUPPORT GROUPS.HARPER'S HOPE EXPRESSES THE MEANING OF CARE AT EVERY TURN OF THE CANCER JOURNEY. MAIN PROGRAM COMPONENTS INCLUDE SOCIAL WORK, BEHAVIORAL HEALTH/COUNSELING, NUTRITION SERVICES, PHYSICAL WELLNESS AND CANCER PREVENTION AND HEREDITARY RISK ASSESSMENT. THESE RESOURCES HELP PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS LIVE WITH, THROUGH AND BEYOND THE CANCER DIAGNOSIS.METHODIST HOSPITAL ALONG WITH OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS AND PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES, QUIETLY PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE COMMUNITY'S ABILITY TO RESPOND TO AND IMPROVE EMERGENCY RESPONSE DURING A NATURAL DISASTER, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS SPILL OR DOMESTIC TERRORIST ATTACK. OMAHA METROPOLITAN MEDICAL RESPONSE SYSTEM (OMMRS) WAS ESTABLISHED THROUGH A FEDERAL GRANT IN 2000, AS A MULTIDISCIPLINARY GROUP OF FIRST RESPONDERS AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS. OMMRS BENEFITS THE COMMUNITY IN STANDARDIZING EMERGENCY RESPONSE EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING AND DEVELOPING RESPONSE PLANS TO MAXIMIZE COMMUNITY RESOURCES AND CLARIFY COMMUNICATION PROCESSES BETWEEN AGENCIES. WHILE GRANTS HAVE PROVIDED FUNDING TO COVER SOME EXPENSES, TRAINING AND OTHER NEEDED EQUIPMENT ARE PROVIDED BY METHODIST AS A COMMUNITY BENEFIT. METHODIST EMPLOYS A FULL-TIME EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS COORDINATOR, IN ADDITION TO A SAFETY TEAM WITH PARTIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS. SALARIES PAID TO EMPLOYEES WHO ATTEND AFTER-HOURS PLANNING MEETINGS AND PARTICIPATE IN THE ANNUAL WEEKEND DISASTER DRILL ARE NOT COVERED BY GRANTS.AS ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE OMMRS, METHODIST WOULD PROVIDE TREATMENT FOR SECOND-LEVEL INJURIES, WALKING WOUNDED AND OVERFLOW TRAUMA PATIENTS WHEN ESTABLISHED TRAUMA CENTERS ARE OVERWHELMED.SUICIDE - THE TRAGIC OUTCOME OF MENTAL ILLNESS - CAN BE PREVENTED. BUT IT TAKES RECOGNITION OF THE PROBLEM, REFERRALS TO MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES, AND PARTNERSHIPS AMONG KEY PROVIDERS IN THE COMMUNITY. METHODIST HOSPITAL'S COMMUNITY COUNSELING PROGRAM DIRECTLY SERVES OVER 20,000 IN OMAHA AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WHILE ELEVATING THE OVERALL HEALTH AND EDUCATION IN THE REGION. THIS UNIQUE COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE METHODIST HOSPITAL AND THE OMAHA PUBLIC SCHOOLS BRINGS PROFESSIONAL COUNSELING SERVICES TO THOSE WHO OTHERWISE MIGHT HAVE NO ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH CARE. A TEAM OF LICENSED, MASTERS-LEVEL COUNSELORS FROM METHODIST HOSPITAL MAINTAIN OFFICE HOURS AT SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES. THE PROGRAM ALONG WITH OTHER COMMUNITY PARTNER PROGRAMS IS PAYING OFF. AMONG VULNERABLE ADOLESCENTS 17 YEARS OLD AND YOUNGER, THE SUICIDE RATES HAVE DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY WITH AN 81% DECREASE FROM 2005 TO 2009 AS REPORTED IN THE 2010 LIVEWELL OMAHA COMMUNITY REPORT CARD.
		PART VI, LINE 7: AFFILIATED HEALTH CARE SYSTEM:THE NEBRASKA METHODIST HEALTH SYSTEM INCLUDES NEBRASKA METHODIST HOSPITAL, NEBRASKA METHODIST HOSPITAL FOUNDATION, JENNIE EDMUNDSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, JENNIE EDMUNDSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL FOUNDATION, NEBRASKA METHODIST HEALTH SYSTEM, PHYSICIANS CLINIC, AND THE NEBRASKA METHODIST COLLEGE OF NURSING. AS A GROUP, THESE ENTITIES ARE COMMITTED TO CARING FOR THE PEOPLE OF OUR COMMUNITY BY PROVIDING OUTSTANDING CARE, EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT SERVICES. THE MORE THAN 6,000 EMPLOYEES OF OUR HOSPITALS, CLINICS, COLLEGE AND FOUNDATION WORK TO STRENGTHEN THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES WE SERVE. TO FULFILL OUR MISSION OF CARING FOR PEOPLE, AFFILIATES HAVE DEVELOPED A VARIETY OF WAYS TO CONTRIBUTE CARE AND HEALTH-RELATED EDUCATION TO THE POOR, MINORITIES, AND TO OTHER UNDERSERVED GROUPS AS WELL AS TO THE BROADER COMMUNITY.BROAD-BASED COMMUNITY HEALTH AND OUTREACH INITIATIVES INCLUDE TARGETED PROGRAMS THAT ALIGN CLOSELY WITH THE KEY HEALTH NEEDS IDENTIFIED BY LIVEWELL OMAHA, A COLLABORATION OF LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS DEDICATED TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF THOSE WHO LIVE AND WORK IN THE METROPOLITAN OMAHA AREA.AS INDIVIDUAL AFFILIATES, A UNIFIED HEALTH SYSTEM, AND ACTIVE PARTNER WITH OTHER COMMUNITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, WE ARE COMMITTED TO IMPROVING THE HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE OF THE RESIDENTS OF OUR REGION. WE RESPECT AND EMBRACE THE RESPONSIBILITY THAT ACCOMPANIES OUR TAX EXEMPT STATUS AND WE ARE HONORED TO OFFER LEADERSHIP, SUPPORT AND RESOURCES TO BENEFIT OUR COMMUNITY.

	AT NEBRASKA METHODIST HOSPITAL, WE UNDERSTAND HOW DEEPLY A DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER DIFFERS FROM OTHER MEDICAL CONDITIONS. CANCER CAN EVOKE BOTH FEAR AND HOPE IN PROFOUND WAYS.

AT METHODIST ESTABROOK CENTER, WE FIGHT CANCER IN ITS TOTALITY AND WE UNITE ALL OF OUR RESOURCES TO HELP OUR PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILY MEMBERS.

METHODIST ESTABROOK CANCER CENTER IS AMONG THE CANCER CENTERS TO OFFER SUCH A RESEARCH OPPORTUNITY.
