Nebraska Heart in the Community
As an organization, Nebraska Heart is committed to educating and reaching out to Lincoln and the surrounding communities. Heart health is our passion, and we are constantly making an effort to help Nebraskans achieve their heart health goals. Through free classes, community events, volunteering and restaurant partnerships, we are working harder than ever to ensure that we have a hand in enriching our community. We believe that, while it's one thing to give our patients the best heart care in Nebraska, it's another thing to help them succeed outside of our walls. Which is why we have launched this initiative.
