Help us provide care for the most vulnerable in our community

Your donation supports Bluestem Health programs that address a few of the biggest needs in our city: dental care for patients on Medicaid and diabetes education for our patients with prediabetes and diabetes.  Many of the patients receiving these services have extremely limited, or otherwise cost-prohibitive, access to the care they need. Here’s why your support matters:

  • 82% of our dental patients are Uninsured or on Medicaid
  • Our no-cost Diabetes Education programs help patients gain the necessary skills and confidence to manage their condition successfully.

When you donate to Bluestem Health between now and May 28, you’re helping us continue to offer life-changing support.

It's Time To Get Your Flu Shot

It’s time for Flu Shot Clinics at Bluestem Health. Flu Shot Clinics are held at the Main Clinic, serving patients from all locations, on Fridays by appointment ONLY between 10 AM and 2 PM.

You MUST be a Bluestem Health patient, having seen a provider within the last year, to make an appointment at our Flu Clinic. We will also be administering flu vaccines to patients at their regularly scheduled appointments.

There are many benefits to getting a flu shot, including:

  • Reducing your chance of being diagnosed with the flu
  • Minimizing symptoms of the flu
  • Lowering the incidence of becoming hospitalized from flu
  • Reducing the chance of dying from flu complications
  • Protecting your from getting other illnesses due to a lower immune system, if you do contract flu

This year it is especially important to avoid flu and keep your immune system healthy to protect from other illnesses like COVID and to improve your chances of recovery. It’s time to get your flu shot. Don’t delay, call 402-476-1455 and ask for a Flu Shot Clinic appointment.

Make sure to protect yourself with a flu vaccine and keep your immune system healthy to protect from other illnesses like COVID and to improve your chances of recovery. Dr. Andrew Shahan, at our Piedmont location, discusses why the flu shot is so critical, especially right now.
