Transplant Center

Lodging

The Nebraska Medical Center offers a variety of long-term lodging options for families staying in Omaha. All of The Nebraska Medical Center lodging options are on campus or within walking distance. If you prefer to stay off-campus, we have developed relationships with several hotels in town to provide quality lodging for visitors when we are sold out. Most of these hotels provide scheduled shuttle service that transports patients and families to and from the hospital.
