Outdoor areas

Those undergoing lengthy treatment for serious illnesses often need a place away from the clinical environment of their treatment.

Outdoor areas located in:

The Nebraska Medical Center Healing Gardens, adjacent to the Lied Transplant Center, provide patients and families a tranquil environment in a beautifully landscaped, peaceful outdoor setting for relaxation, quiet reflection and conversation. You may access The Healing Gardens from the Lied Transplant Center.

Leslie’s Healing Garden, accessed from inside the Fred & Pamela Buffett Cancer Center, offers a stunning outside-in view of parts of the Chihuly Sanctuary, and a place of respite and reflection for patients, their families and staff. 

Additional outdoor respite areas include two areas accessible from the Hixson-Lied Center: The Rooftop Garden (use elevator C to level four) and the Caregiver’s Plaza, which is accessible from the main level. 

At Bellevue Medical Center, there is a healing garden and meditation room located on the garden level.
