Each year, CHI Health Immanuel Rehabilitation Institute and Nebraska Adaptive Sports put on a week-long camp for wheelchair athletes ages five through high school. This year's camp was a huge success, including athletes from Nebraska, Iowa, and Kansas!

The camp introduces these athletes to different kinds of adaptive sports - from wheelchair softball to hand cycling. Beyond sports, the camp fosters friendship and shows these kids their full potential.

Truly inspiring! 💙 KMTV 3 News Now's "Positively the Heartland" shines a light on two incredible mental health therapists, Jen Baker and Ali Kampe, at CHI Health's Lasting Hope Recovery Center.

They saw a need and filled it – creating a pantry, closet, and library to provide basic necessities for their patients. So much more than just therapy, it's about holistic care and compassion. Watch the full story here: https://ow.ly/E3Xm50WJ9F1

At Lasting Hope Recovery Center, they understand 'mental illness can affect anyone.' The team also understands how access to things like a toothbrush or seasonal clothes make a difference in healing.

Kaylee and Shania both delivered their sweet little bundles of joy with Dr. Anderson at Lakeside! They loved their experiences, and we're so grateful to have been a part of their deliveries. 💙

Our family could not be more thankful for Dr. Anderson. We met her several years ago when trying to conceive our now 2 year old. If it wasn't for her, our daughter may have never happened. We just welcomed twins, and during pregnancy and postpartum, she has been nothing short of wonderful. I would recommend Dr. Anderson to any woman who wants to be well cared for! -Leslie

Thank you for choosing us here at Lakeside to care for your family, Leslie!

Katelyn recently delivered her little bundle of joy at Lakeside with Dr. Hedrick by her side! Here's what she had to say about her experience:

"My experience with Dr. Hedrick throughout pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum has been exceptional. Dr. Hedrick is one of the most caring and knowledgeable physicians I've ever had. She takes time to listen to all concerns, explains things clearly, and ensured I was comfortable every step of the way. Dr. Hedrick is truly a rare find in the fast-paced medical world, and I'm truly grateful for her!"
