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.

Community Outreach

Connecting Community

Bluestem Health’s Community Outreach Programs are connecting patients with community and clinic resources throughout the Lancaster County, Nebraska area. We work closely with our community partners by taking healthcare education and health screenings from the clinic setting to the various neighborhood community centers that provide support to Lincoln’s population.

Our Outreach Looks Like:
  • Diabetic education and disease management
  • An Outreach team that connects our patients with community and clinic resources
  • Working closely with our community partners to bring healthcare education and screenings outside the clinic setting and into the neighborhoods of Lincoln.

Our Outreach programs focus on engaging people by offering them health education on various topics and diseases, and by showing them how to manage their health and nutrition. We build a bridge between Bluestem Health and the centers so that current patients, and those well into the future, can feel connected to the healthcare services that are available to them in and around Lincoln, Nebraska.

We may perform home visits, monitor homebound patients who are living with chronic illnesses, and do case management between the centers, clients, and Bluestem Heath.
