Bryan Health (formerly BryanLGH Health System) is an American not-for-profit healthcare organization located in Lincoln, Nebraska. The system operates an acute-care hospital, several outpatient clinics and a College of Health Sciences, as well as a physician network and a heart institute.

History

The organization was formed in 1997 by the merger of two pre-existing hospitals in Lincoln: Bryan Memorial Hospital and Lincoln General Hospital.[1] The name BryanLGH was chosen to reflect the names of the pre-existing hospitals, both of which had been in operation since 1926.[2] The College of Health Sciences also opened in 1926 as Bryan School of Nursing.[3] Bryan's physician network and heart institute have been added since the merger.

The organization's name is derived from William Jennings Bryan's gift of land to the United Methodist Church for a hospital in 1922.[3]

The Vice President of United States Richard Bruce Cheney was born in Bryan Memorial Hospital at 1941.[4]
