Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 16th of May.
Good morning, Bellevue.
🏘️ Community
Neighborgood Pantry moved into a new building five times larger than its old space near 66th and Cornhusker—adding room for increased food donations, a community garden and a grocery store for neighbors.
The 9,000 square feet facility will finish renovations by summer to better serve Sarpy County families.
🏛️ Government
Laramie and Trio are certified service dogs who help victims feel less scared when they testify in Sarpy and Douglas County courthouses — their training helps ease anxiety during legal proceedings.
Their handlers, Jean Brazda and John Brazda, use a cover command and other tools to open lines of communication so that victims can share their experiences.
🏥 Health
Nebraska doctors warned that if Medicaid cuts take effect and reimbursement drops to $0.35 per dollar of care, hospitals may lose essential services—especially in rural areas where almost half are already losing money.
The Nebraska Hospital Association said extra costs from patients without coverage could force programs to shut down and even lead to hospital closures.
