Community Involvement

Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation of American
This foundation’s mission is to cure and prevent Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis through research, and improve the quality of life by those affected by these diseases. Penny Morris, RN, is a leader in the Nebraska Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation. With her leadership Gastroenterology Specialties forms a team to walk in the fund raising event each spring. Prior to the walk Penny sets into motion bake sales as a fund raiser. Penny participates in the local support group and frequently provides educational presentations to the membership.We are very proud of Penny’s continued commitment to this organization.

Stay in the Game—Get Screened for Colon Cancer
Gastroenterology Specialties, Lincoln Endoscopy Center and their physicians all participate in the Stay in the Game campaign to encourage everyone over 50 to have a screening colonoscopy.

Blood Donation Drive
Because of the ongoing commitment of our physicians to promote blood donations, Gastroenterology Specialties schedules a blood mobile to visit our business every eight weeks where the staff donate during working hours.  We thank the staff and physicians for their commitment to the community in providing the gift of life.
