The Harper Family, a legacy of giving

The drive is undeniable, and not confined to any one of Omaha’s hospitals or medical centers. It’s a community-wide, perpetual push to be that much better; to grow programs, services and positive outcomes; to harness technical innovation and human curiosity to redefine the bounds of what is possible — so that more and more lives can be nurtured, improved or saved.
