What Lincoln Medical Education Partnership does

Lincoln Medical Education Partnership (LMEP) is a Nebraska-based nonprofit healthcare and medical education organization founded in 1976 and headquartered at 4600 Valley Road, Lincoln, Nebraska. The organization operates five program divisions under a single corporate umbrella: Lincoln Family Medicine Center (comprehensive primary care including family medicine, obstetrics, pediatrics, surgery, and behavioral health), Lincoln Family Medicine Residency Program (a community-based family medicine residency described as one of the country's preeminent programs), Lincoln Medical Acupuncture (integrative evidence-based Western medicine combined with acupuncture), Stepping Stones (outpatient substance abuse evaluation, counseling, treatment, and food/personal-needs assistance), and School Community Intervention and Prevention / SCIP (school-based behavioral and emotional health intervention for K-12 students).

LMEP serves four primary constituencies: the general patient population of Lincoln seeking comprehensive primary care across all ages and genders; medical residents from the U.S. and abroad seeking community-based family medicine training; community members requiring behavioral health, substance abuse, and social support services; and K-12 students and families needing behavioral intervention in school settings. Leadership comprises Dr. Alan Linderman (President & CEO since 2009, also a practicing internist), Kathryn Harper (Director of Operations and HR, with the organization since 1999), and Abbe Edgecombe (Compliance Officer and Director of Stepping Stones/SCIP).

LMEP's revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed but are described as flowing through insurance billing and government healthcare programs, consistent with a community health center / residency training operator model. Distribution is entirely in-person at the Lincoln headquarters and partner school/community locations, with no digital service delivery, mobile app, or API surface disclosed. The organization markets through its lmep.com website and affiliated program websites, and celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2026, underscoring an extended operating history in a single Midwestern market.

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• Nebraska Medicine: Clinical enterprise affiliated with UNMC, providing primary care and specialty services across Omaha and Nebraska. A larger incumbent with overlapping residency training and primary care delivery missions.
• University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC): Nebraska's primary academic medical center, operating residency and fellowship programs that compete for the same medical graduate talent as LMEP's family medicine residency and serve as a likely academic affiliation partner.

Others

• CoxHealth: Large regional health system in Springfield, Missouri operating a community-based family medicine residency program. Relevant as a comparable model combining community hospital care with graduate medical education, though at significantly larger scale.

Direct peers

• Charles Drew Health Center: Omaha-based FQHC offering primary care, behavioral health, substance abuse treatment, and social services. Mirrors LMEP's integrated community health and medical education approach in a nearby Nebraska market.
• Bryan Health: Lincoln, Nebraska-based integrated health system providing primary care, specialty services, and graduate medical education. Direct competitor for LMEP's family medicine patient base and residency-trained physician pipeline in the same Lincoln market.
• OneWorld Community Health Centers: Federally Qualified Health Center serving Omaha and surrounding Nebraska communities with primary care, behavioral health, and social support services, directly comparable to LMEP's community health mission.
• Bluestem Health: Lincoln-based FQHC providing primary care, behavioral health, and pharmacy services to underserved populations in the same Lincoln community LMEP serves, with a comparable nonprofit community health mission.
• CHI Health St. Elizabeth: Lincoln-based hospital and clinic network owned by CommonSpirit Health, delivering primary care, behavioral health, and community health services comparable to LMEP's integrated model in the same geographic market.

Regional players

• Visiting Nurse Association (VNA): Nebraska-based nonprofit home health and hospice provider with similar community-service orientation and payer mix (Medicare/Medicaid heavy) as LMEP's clinical programs.
• Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital: Lincoln-based nonprofit rehabilitation hospital with research and education programs. Comparable as a Nebraska-headquartered nonprofit integrating clinical care, education, and community service, though focused on rehabilitation rather than primary care.
