CHI Health St. Mary’s has served Nebraska City and the surrounding areas since 1927. We are an affiliate of Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI), a national health system committed to promoting healthy communities through innovative programs, collaborations, and partnerships.
Guided by our Catholic heritage of healing ministry, our goal is to provide our friends and neighbors with compassionate, quality medical care close to the comforts of home.
In the fall of 2014, St. Mary’s opened the doors of a brand-new, fully modernized facility. The original St. Mary’s building was constructed in 1927, and the hospital has since outgrown the structure. The new 110,000-square-foot campus is better equipped to meet the changing needs of our community with, among other benefits, an increased capacity for specialty clinics and an integrated primary care clinic.
It is a goal of St. Mary’s to encourage collaboration and care coordination among primary care physicians and medical specialists. This contributes to the high quality of care our patients have come to expect. The new facility not only makes this cooperative approach easier, but also introduces technological advancements that will improve diagnosis and treatment methods.
At CHI Health St. Mary's we make the healing presence of God known in our world by improving the health of the people we serve, especially those who are vulnerable, while we advance social justice for all.
A healthier future for all – inspired by faith, driven by innovation, and powered by our humanity.
We celebrate each person's gifts and voice and respect the dignity of all.
We inspire trust through honesty and demonstrate courage in the face of inequity.
We show care with listening, empathy, and love and accompany and comfort those in need of healing.

We commit to the power of working together while building and nurturing meaningful relationships.
