Family Medicine Kreshel Clinic

The history of the North Lincoln Family Medical Center dates back to 1991 when it was first opened by Charles Kreshel, MD, a Family Medicine physician in Lincoln. Over the years, this Clinic has served the healthcare needs of the Belmont Community in North Lincoln by offering comprehensive family medicine services and obstetric care. On April 1, 2019, the Clinic became part of the Bluestem Health organization, a Federally Qualified Health Center in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Clinic’s name was changed to Bluestem Health Kreshel Clinic in recognition of Dr. Kreshel’s commitment to provide high-quality, primary care in the Lincoln area. While patients get used to the new name, they can rely on receiving the same great care as in the past.

WHY CHOOSE INTEGRATED FAMILY MEDICAL CARE?

At Bluestem Health, we have several integrated family practice clinics. This means we care about your overall well being — your medical, behavioral, and dental healthcare, as well as resources for family success. The integrated family medical clinic allows the Kreshel Clinic providers to work closely with Mental Health and Psychiatric providers who work within the primary care setting. The integrated care model increases access to behavioral healthcare that helps to prevent and to manage chronic medical conditions, prolong life expectancy, and improve a patient’s quality of life. This care model promotes a continuum of care for patients, allowing the Kreshel Clinic family medicine providers to coordinate that level of care within the Bluestem Health system for patients needing behavioral health services.

The Kreshel Clinic providers also have direct access to other services that support primary care, such as:

• Dental appointments can be coordinated directly through the Kreshel Clinic to Bluestem Health’s dental services.
• A Certified Diabetic Educator and Nutritionist, and a Chronic Disease Nurse are available by appointment at no cost to patients who have chronic diseases and need additional support with disease management.
• Home-bound patients can be seen in their home by a paramedic as requested by a Kreshel Clinic provider.
• Bluestem Health’s 340B Pharmacy can offer significant discounts on medications.
• Assistance is available for the Kreshel Clinic patients in applying for resources such as Medicaid, SNAP, ADC, Child Care Support, and Open Enrollment through the Health Insurance Exchange.
• Bluestem Health offers a staff of interpreters that speak seven different languages to serve Lincoln’s diverse population, including Spanish, Arabic, Kurdish, Karen, Burmese, Vietnamese, and American Sign Language.
