Bryan Health announced a new outpatient medical campus Monday, expanding access to health care in the growing west Omaha-Metro area.
Located on the southwest corner of 204th and West Center Road in Elkhorn, the 14.6-acre Bryan Elkhorn Campus is scheduled to open by spring 2027.
In a news release, Bryan Health said the new facility will focus on primary care, specialty physicians, diagnostic imaging and other outpatient medical services.
The first phase of the facility will include two medical offices and an urgent care center operated by Midwest Independent Physicians Private Practice Association (MIPPA).
MIPPA President Dr. Stephen Williams said his organization shares goals with Bryan Health, making them good partners for the project.
“Their presence underscores our mission to keep independent practices independent, while also giving patients access to expanded resources and comprehensive care,” Williams said in a news release. “Patients will benefit from greater access to care, a wide range of services and a modern, welcoming outpatient environment.”
Bryan Health’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer John Woodrich said the partnership will expand access to medical care to meet growing health care needs in the western Omaha-Metro area.
“Collaborating with physicians and communities is core to our mission, so a couple of years ago when MIPPA invited us to discuss ways to meet healthcare needs in a rapidly growing part of the Omaha metro, we listened,” Woodrich said. “We quickly found that the MIPPA physicians and other interested specialists all shared our spirit of collaboration, a focus on quality and a desire to improve access to convenient care.”
The western part of the Omaha metro area has grown exponentially in the last two decades, though it is reaching the limit of outward expansion. Between 2020 and 2024, Douglas County’s population grew by nearly 16,000 people. In 2024, the wider Omaha Metropolitan Area’s population estimate hit the 1 million mark, making it the 55th largest metro area in the United States, bigger than New Orleans or Honolulu.
Out of 23 other large metro areas in the U.S., Omaha ranks eighth in quality of life — which includes healthcare access as a metric, according to the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce and University of Nebraska Lincoln’s Bureau of Business Research’s 2025 annual economic scorecard.
Omaha-based commercial real estate firm Goldenrod Companies is behind the facility’s design and development. A groundbreaking ceremony at the future Bryan Elkhorn Campus will be held on Tuesday.
