We would like to give a special shout out to Dr Michael Rapp and the incredible team at CHI Health St. Elizabeth who went above and beyond to handle so many healthcare vaccinations over the holiday weeks, including our team at UCCL. Dr Rapp was working and emailing on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to make sure our team and others were scheduled properly for covid vaccinations. He wanted his hardworking crew to have a little more family time on Christmas so he stepped up to help with scheduling.
We are so thankful and recognize how hard and generous the St E's team has been working to help other clinics, frontline workers and healthcare teams in town get their vaccinations and they truly set the example for community care! THANK YOU!!
Each one of us can make a big difference, one mask at a time. #DontShareYourAir #WearAMask #Hellohumankindness
Please follow the guidelines of your local health officer. You may also visit CDC website for more info.
When we live to celebrate one another, we live with humankindness in our hearts. #Hellohumankindness
Although the Christmas season is behind us, the generous spirit of the team at CHI Health ENT Nebraska will help the community throughout the year.

They volunteered as bell-ringers for the The Salvation Army - Lincoln, Nebraska and they also donated $290 cash and over 120 lbs of food to the Lincoln Foodbank. Part of the money was raised through employee contributions from a wear jeans on Fridays event and from a penny wars which encouraged employees to donate their spare change. https://spr.ly/6183HgKNt

What one child wrote on his thank you note speaks for all of us. He wrote, “Thank you for saving our families.” @CHI Health St. Elizabeth
