Our story
About CareLink Nebraska
CareLink Nebraska was born from personal experience and a simple belief: everyone deserves access to affordable, transparent healthcare.
As a nurse practitioner, I've devoted my career to caring for others—but when I worked for a small business that couldn't offer insurance, I found myself struggling to afford care for my own health. My options were limited and expensive: nearly $800 a month in premiums with a $15,000 deductible. Even as a healthcare professional, I often avoided going to the doctor because costs were unpredictable and overwhelming.
That experience changed everything. It opened my eyes to how many hardworking people—small business employees, entrepreneurs, and independent workers—face the same impossible choices every day.
I founded CareLink Nebraska to change that. Our mission is to bridge the gap for those left behind by traditional insurance, offering affordable, accessible, and transparent healthcare that puts people first. Because quality care shouldn't depend on your employment status or the size of your paycheck—it should be a right, not a privilege.

Simple does not mean careless.
Convenience matters, but safe and appropriate care comes first. CareLink Nebraska uses several core principles to guide the patient experience.
Be clear about what telehealth can do
Patients should understand when virtual care may be appropriate and when in-person care is necessary.
Protect patient privacy
Medical details should be handled through approved patient-care systems rather than ordinary website messages.
Communicate honestly
Plans, costs, service limits and next steps should be described in straightforward language.
Refer responsibly
When another level of care is needed, patients should receive clear guidance rather than false reassurance.
