About Us
Some children are born with congenital heart defects requiring lifelong care, while others develop heart conditions later in life. At Children's Nebraska, our pediatric cardiology team provides advanced diagnostics for early, accurate diagnoses and delivers comprehensive cardiac care. We are committed to patient- and family-centered care, ensuring families are fully informed about their child’s condition and treatment plan.
In addition to Omaha, Children's Cardiology conducts outreach clinics across the region, bringing the same high standard of cardiac care closer to our patients' homes.
