Mary Lanning Healthcare was founded by a local family, the Lannings. From the beginning, MLH has been an independent, locally owned, non-profit organization.
Why should you care?
Because that means your family, friends and neighbors are the ones making the decisions about MLH as an organization. They are the ones providing, and guiding, healthcare in Hastings and the surrounding area. Also, MLH does not exist to make money for a big corporation. It exists to provide the best possible care for you.
Here are some things to think about:
- MLH strives to provide state-of-the-art equipment, medicines and skilled providers. In today’s world, the price of providing comprehensive services continues to rise yet we continue to invest in new technologies.
- MLH is the largest employer in Adams County. We provide jobs and benefits for more than 1,200 people.
- MLH has skilled staff who do their research through the Nebraska Hospital Association, and work to keep pricing as competitive as possible.
- MLH provides millions of dollars in charity care to those who fall within the federal poverty guidelines. (This figure was $40 million in 2016.)
- Because our employees live and work in central Nebraska, we know the challenges and advantages of life here. If you need help paying your bill, call and chat with us. We might not always be able to solve your problem but we do allow many folks to make payments, and we will do our best to work with you reasonably and rationally.
- MLH has outpatient and clinic locations in Hastings, Grand Island and some other communities. However, we only strive to provide the services people want and need. We have not purchased any clinics since 2011, although we have opened a few specialty clinics to provide new services.
- MLH's hospitalist program has provided 24/7 physician coverage at the hospital for several years, and works with your primary care provider to make sure you receive a continuum of care.
- Anytime MLH grows its services or buildings, it is for the good of serving the community. We strive to be good neighbors and make decisions that benefit the region.
Mary Lanning Healthcare is a local business. We care about Hastings area residents and we are here for you when you need care. Community support of local entities like MLH is vitally important to helping them thrive and grow, and we thank south central Nebraska for supporting our purpose and our legacy.
