Custom Roadmap to Fight Breast Cancer
Our Multidisciplinary Clinic for Breast Cancer, the first of its kind in Lincoln, is designed to give patients their entire treatment plan in one day. The team, made up of surgical, medical and radiation oncologists and advanced cancer providers, meet together with the patient to develop a plan, which allows for prompt treatment and surgical intervention.

Only Pediatric ER in Lincoln
CHI Health Pediatric Place at St. Elizabeth was first in the state to earn a “Pediatric Ready” designation, meaning it’s equipped to care for children from birth to 18 years old.
Pediatric Place’s eight-bed unit is a child-friendly environment and provides quiet comfort away from the adult ER. The care team has specialized pediatric training, supported by St. Elizabeth’s Level III Trauma Center, and partners closely with Children’s Hospital and Medical Center to treat:
- Serious illnesses
- Traumatic injuries
- Cuts
- Post-surgical care
Maternity Care Your Way
No matter what type of pregnancy and birth experience a new mom is looking for, the Women’s Health team at St. Elizabeth is there every step of the way. Our hospital is equipped with a Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a 24-hour OB Emergency Department and a full-time Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist for high risk pregnancy care.
In addition to the Maternity Center, the CHI Health Birth Center at Lincoln within blocks of the hospital is the only free-standing Birth Center in the state, working directly with St. Elizabeth’s care team to offer women a more natural birth experience with midwife- centered care.
Magnet Status
St. Elizabeth has been designated as a Magnet organization since 2004 by the American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet Recognition Program®.
