2018-2019 Advocating for a Healthy Midtown Business Community 2018-2019 Business Directory and Guide for the Midtown-Omaha community Advocating for a healthy Midtown business community www.midtownbusinessassociation.org The University of Nebraska Medical Center is poised to transform health care education, and – as aviation simulation changed the ight industry – propel the training of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals into the next generation with emerging virtual and augmented reality. Through its iEXCELSM initiative, UNMC is enhancing connectivity and interdisciplinary education across the state through the strategic installation of iWalls in Omaha, Scottsbluff, Kearney, Lincoln and Norfolk. Thanks to a public-private partnership, the iEXCEL program will be based in the new $121.8 million Davis Global Center, along with the National Center for Health Security and Biopreparedness, which will train federal health care personnel in treating highly infectious diseases. Health care providers can visualize – in 3D – abnormalities of the heart or other organs. And, rather than a static CT scan, a 3D hologram allows physicians to walk around the organ – while seemingly suspended in space – for a truly realistic-looking image. Students in the EON Reality VR Innovation Academy, housed on the UNMC campus, will be trailblazers in lling a critical workforce need as augmented and virtual reality gains a foothold in education. The academy is one of ve in the United States; one of 15 in the world. After 11 months, participating students earn an industry certicate from EON Reality.

  • Appendix B – Transportation Profile
    APPENDIX B TRANSPORTATION PROFILE Transportation Inventory Roadways in the MAPA Region The network of streets, highways, and bridges represents the primary form of transportation in the MAPA TMA. From residential streets to interstate freeways, it is utilized daily by the vast majority of residents in the metro area to get from point A to point B. In recent decades, hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent to construct and maintain the system that exists today. Ensuring that the roadway system continues to be safe and provides a high-degree mobility for residents and businesses is critical to the region’s future. The MAPA LRTP provides the metro area with a roadmap for anticipated transportation improvements. While the 30-year planning timeframe inherently carries with it a high level of uncertainty, it is nonetheless important to periodically assess the region’s transportation system and evaluate long range plans and goals. Traffic levels have grown rapidly in recent decades in the MAPA region; however, traffic growth slowed for several years following the economic recession of 2008. Since that time traffic growth has slowly begun to increase as population and employment continue to increase. Recently, the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing had significant impacts in reducing traffic on the region’s roadways for weeks. However, at this time it is unclear whether there will be long-term impacts of the precautions being taken to slow the spread of the virus as communities plan for reopening businesses, schools and other venues. In many communities throughout the region, the roadway system in the metro area has not kept pace with new, suburban growth.

  • 3.0 Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences of the Alternatives
    Proposed Ambulatory Care Center FINAL Environmental Assessment NWIHCS Omaha VAMC January 2018 3.0 Affected Environment and Environmental Consequences of the Alternatives This section discusses environmental considerations for the project, the contextual setting of the affected environment, and impacts of the No-Action Alternative and Proposed Action. Aesthetics Definition of the Resource A visual resource is usually defined as an area of unique beauty that is a result of the combined characteristics of the natural aspects of land and human aspects of land use. Wild and scenic rivers, unique topography, and geologic landforms are examples of the natural aspects of land. Examples of human aspects of land use include scenic highways and historic districts. Visual resources can be regulated by management plans, policies, ordinances, and regulations that determine the types of uses that are allowable or protect specially designated or visually sensitive areas. Affected Environment The Omaha VAMC campus is in an urban setting within the City of Omaha. The campus abuts the Field Club golf course and Field Club Trail on the east, the Douglas County Health Department and Health Center to the north, residences of the Morton Meadows neighborhood on the west, and a major retail and commercial corridor along Center Street to the south including the Hanscom Park neighborhood (see Figure 1-2, also see zoning map Figure 3-6). The Omaha VAMC main campus consists of the main hospital building constructed in approximately 1950, various buildings support buildings, surface parking lots, and green space. Environmental Consequences 3.1.3.1 No-Action Alternative Under the No-Action Alternative, the visual aesthetics at the Omaha VAMC would remain unchanged.

  • 2014 GIVING REPORT It’S No Surprise to Us, Our Donors and the Giving Community Are Among the Most Generous in the Nation - and They Made 2014 an Incrdible Year!
    2014 GIVING REPORT It’s no surprise to us, our donors and the giving community are among the most generous in the nation - and they made 2014 an incrdible year! The donors working through the Omaha Community Foundation had a record year. They gave over $173 million to nonprofits which ranked 5th in the nation for most generous among community foundation donors. That level of giving surpassed community foundations in Chicago, New York, and Boston according to the annual report published by CF Insights. Another important milestone for the Foundation was achieved this year. We surpassed $1 billion in assets which make us the 17th largest community foundation nationally. In addition, this was a record year for people joining our family of donors – 159 accounts were opened in 2014. These milestones and record level of growth are important today, but it also means that there will continue to be community investment in our nonprofits long into the future. Our donors love this community and continue to find more ways to make it the best it can be. We exist to help them accomplish those hopes and dreams. Our community’s future is bright. The Omaha Community Foundation connects people who care about our community with the people and nonprofits who are doing the most good here. Over $1.2 billion has been granted to nonprofits on behalf of our donors. And since 1982, our family of over 1,300 donors has given over $1.6 billion to charitable giving accounts at the Omaha Community Foundation. Much has been accomplished, but we are ready to do more.
