Faith Regional Health Services

What Faith Regional Health Services does

Faith Regional Health Services, doing business as Faith Health following a March 2026 rebranding, is a nonprofit regional healthcare system headquartered in Norfolk, Nebraska. Founded in 1923 and now marking 30 years under its current corporate identity, the system operates a 131-bed acute care hospital accredited by The Joint Commission, including a 24/7 Emergency Department designated as a Level III Trauma Center, walk-in urgent care, and an 18-bed adult inpatient behavioral health unit (one of only seven such facilities in Nebraska) opened in 2018 following a $3.1 million investment. The organization also runs home health and hospice services, an accredited sleep disorders center, and a Commission on Cancer accredited cancer program, delivered by a workforce of more than 1,400 healthcare professionals across more than 25 medical specialties.

The system distributes care through a network of family medicine and specialty clinics across northeast Nebraska, with locations in Columbus, Battle Creek, Humphrey, Laurel, Neligh, Pierce, Wakefield, and Wayne, plus outreach services to more than 15 additional communities. Care is billed through Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance, Veterans Benefits, and self-pay, with a separate Faith Health Foundation generating donations and grants. Faith Health affiliates with Genoa Medical Facilities, Niobrara Valley Hospital, and the Northeast Nebraska Surgery Center, and partners with more than 20 regional rescue squads and the University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) on cancer research. The service area for inpatient behavioral health spans 22 counties, with 596 patients served in 2025.

The technology base consists of standard healthcare information systems: an electronic health record with the OneChart Patient portal, participation in a Health Information Exchange, and the Care Everywhere interoperability tool for cross-provider record sharing. The system has earned multiple national recognitions in 2025 and 2026, including the American College of Cardiology NCDR Chest Pain MI Registry Platinum Performance Achievement Award (one of only 323 hospitals in 2025 and one of only 350 in 2026), Chartis Top 100 Rural & Community Hospital, AHA Get With The Guidelines Stroke Gold Plus, and Forbes and Healthgrades honors.
