OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A hospital in Omaha will be closing its doors after 40 years and opening a new emergency room six blocks away.

Creighton University Medical Center will stop taking patients on Friday. When the hospital closes, a new emergency room will open six blocks east at Creighton University Medical Center University Campus.

The decades-old hospital’s Level I trauma center and role as a teaching facility for Creighton’s medical school will move to a third facility, the expanded Creighton University Medical Center-Bergan Mercy.

Chief medical officer at CUMC-Bergan Mercy, Dr. Devin Fox, said Wednesday that the closure of the hospital won’t leave northeast Omaha without medical services.
