| We have already started ...and we need your insights and input! |
We are Alegent Health, Nebraska's largest not-for-profit provider of quality healthcare, where skilled, dedicated healthcare professionals deliver high-quality, convenient, affordable, compassionate healthcare to the people of Nebraska and Iowa.
| Unfortunately, delivering that high-quality, affordable healthcare in this day and age takes a whole lot more than it used to. |
The problem is not a shortage of skill and dedication nor is it a lack of will or compassion. The problem is that our healthcare system is grappling with internal and external challenges that are increasing costs and making it significantly harder to make sure everyone receives the quality healthcare they need, in a location they can get to, at a price they can afford.
| Alegent Health believes that we can overcome these challenges. |
 Alegent Health recognizes and enthusiastically accepts our responsibility to lead and to work with the people, businesses, institutions and communities we serve in search of solutions.
To that end, Alegent Health is engaging in a dialogue with community, business and healthcare leaders about the gathering storm in healthcare and solutions for our community. We hope this dialogue will produce a productive exchange of information, perspectives and ideas.
| We are also establishing a Community Benefit Trust to support innovative community-based programs and partnerships that help address healthcare issues. |
Alegent Health is setting aside 1% of our annual net service revenue to fund the Trust and expects to provide approximately $5 to $7 million a year in support for innovative, community-based programs that improve community health and wellness.
