When we talk about maternal health in rural Nebraska, one truth stands out: every mile matters.

Maternal care is one of the clearest examples of why rural healthcare matters so deeply. It touches not only the health of mothers and newborns, but the long-term strength of families, hospitals, and entire communities. When a community loses maternal services, the impact reaches far beyond the delivery room.

The latest issue of Greater Nebraskan Health highlights the reality of where maternal care stands today, but also the work underway to protect and strengthen it for the future. Rural Nebraska has never lacked commitment, compassion, or innovation. What it needs is continued partnership, investment, and focus.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Colorectal cancer is now the deadliest cancer in people under 50, but it is highly preventable through regular screening. Most people should start regular screening at age 45. When caught early, the survival rate is over 90%.

If you're 45 or older or have a family history, don't wait for symptoms. Talk to your doctor about getting scheduled today.

A healthy smile is about more than just teeth. It’s an important part of overall wellness. Research shows that poor oral health is linked to serious systemic issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections.

According to the American Cancer Society, in the United States for 2026, 44% of the estimated 626,000 cancer deaths can potentially be prevented because they are attributable to modifiable cancer risk factors. Cancer screening tests can also help prevent thousands of additional cancer deaths.

National Cancer Prevention Month serves as reminder for us to take charge of our health by prioritizing screenings and making small, intentional changes to reduce risk.
