Gretna, Neb. – A major health‑care investment is under way in the city. Nebraska Medicine announced that its new Gretna Landing Health Center, a $103 million project, is slated to open in January 2028. The facility will sit northwest of Highway 370 and 192nd Street, providing a full suite of services including orthopaedics, sports medicine, a retail pharmacy, laboratory, imaging, primary care and urgent‑care clinics.
Job growth for local families
According to Ashlee Portelli, Executive Director of ambulatory operations and clinical programs, the center will create between 45 and 50 positions on opening day, with an additional 100 jobs expected to be added through 2032. “Those positions range from physicians to advanced practice providers, physical therapists, clinical support staff, our access associates and then of course some administrative roles as well,” Portelli said.
Eight of those roles are already posted on Nebraska Medicine’s career website, giving local job‑seekers an early opportunity to apply. The mix of clinical and support positions reflects the center’s aim to serve families throughout Sarpy County while offering stable, well‑paying employment for residents.
Community impact
The health center is part of a broader wave of development in Sarpy County, which recently saw a $10 million Methodist Physicians Clinic open in the Tiburon development area. By expanding health‑care options locally, the Gretna Landing facility reduces the need for residents to travel to Omaha or other neighboring cities for specialized care.
Local leaders have welcomed the project, noting that increased access to orthopaedic and sports‑medicine services will benefit schools, youth sports programs, and active families throughout the region. The addition of a retail pharmacy and on‑site lab also streamlines routine health needs, supporting the community’s overall well‑being.
Looking ahead
Construction is progressing on schedule, and Nebraska Medicine expects the center to be fully operational by early 2028. Residents interested in employment opportunities can visit the health system’s career portal for current listings.
With its blend of advanced medical services and job creation, the Gretna Landing Health Center exemplifies how strategic health‑care investment can strengthen both the local economy and the quality of life for families in Gretna and the surrounding Sarpy County area.
