Letter from the president Married to Medicine Information Member Recommendations & Moving to Omaha Information Married to Medicine Member Houses for Sale

January 2013 Dear House Officer and Family, Welcome to Omaha! We hope that this information packet will help you in your transition to the residency or fellowship years, particularly if you are new to the area. Included in this welcome packet is information about our group. We are called Married to Medicine, formally known as the House Officers Association Alliance (HOAA). Our group exists to provide support and friendship to the spouses and families of UNMC residents and fellows. We also partner with spouses and families of Creighton University residents and fellows to provide broadened support to the medical community as a whole. We understand that these years of continued medical training can be challenging, but with a good support network they can also be very rewarding. We are here to help make this a time to enjoy and flourish rather than merely survive. HOAA sponsors several events and special-interest groups for the partners, spouses, and children of house officers throughout the year. These include a monthly event, book club, childrens playgroup, and volunteer opportunities, among others. We invite you to let us be your family away from family, your friends in a new place, and your support system. We all understand what you are going through and are here for mutual support. We hope that you will take advantage of all that Married to Medicine (HOAA) has to offer. Included in this folder is a membership application for our 2013-2014 year. Please note that this is an organization for spouses of the residents, not the residents. Annual dues are $35.00 or $45.00 if you participate in playgroup. These dues pay for themselves in just a few events. Please dont hesitate to contact me with questions about our organization, life in Omaha, the training years, or any other questions you may have. I wish you the very best in your upcoming years here and I look forward to meeting you. Sincerely,

Kate Hyde HOAA President, 2013-2014 Spouse of Blake Hyde, MD, 2nd year Otolaryngology Resident 303-667-7342

Housing
The area of town you live in can make a big difference. Below you will find a list of the various sections of town. Hopefully this will save you some time and ultimately help you find a good place to live. In general, the further west you go, the newer the housing is and its more of a suburbia setting. Make sure to investigate how traffic is along the route to UNMC prior to selecting housing. Downtown: Rental properties priced in resident/fellow budgets are often older, smaller, and typically more run down. A growing market of loft apartment and condominiums has recently emerged in and around an area downtown known as the Old Market, many of them are great! In general, housing downtown is generally more expensive than comparable housing in other Omaha areas, but it is also popular among residents and fellows who enjoy nightlife and a more urban setting. Central/Midtown (roughly between 30th and 72nd Streets): A little older housing with pockets of charming neighborhoods. Homes here usually are a good value for the price. The Dundee area within Midtown has a good reputation with past residents, being known for its unique two and three story homes. Morton Meadows and Field Club are also neighborhoods within Midtown with great homes and very close to Creighton, The NE Medical Center, and the VA. The Benson area has retained its small town atmosphere and main street shopping district. Several residents who decide to buy a house purchase in this area because it is often affordable and close to area hospitals. Bellevue: Generally good neighborhoods and moderately priced housing, with a large diversity of acreages, condos and new housing developments. The commute to hospitals depends on traffic, is usually about 20 min. Several stores and parks, has a small town feel with the perks of a city nearby. Residents of Bellevue enjoy the benefits of the Early Childhood center which is a great place for children!

South/Southeast Omaha: Older housing in mostly working-class, diverse neighborhoods. Some areas are well kept and safe, while others feel more run-down. If you are looking to buy a more reasonably priced house, this may be a good area. It is close to the Zoo, Rosenblatt Stadium, and the Botanical Gardens. North Omaha: Older and very inexpensive housing. This area has great neighborhood pockets but is also home to much of Omahas crime and gang activity. West/Northwest Omaha: Larger, newer homes, which often have large yards. Nice, moderate housing along with several newer homes which are quite affordable. 15-20 minute commute to UNMC. The nearness of the interstate allows for easy commuting to any part of the city from here. Millard/Southwest Omaha: Nice housing and neighborhoods with an excellent school system, but housing is often more expensive and the commute is greater than 20 min. Papillion, Ralston, La Vista: Nice housing and neighborhoods, with both established areas and new construction. The commute to UNMC depends on traffic but will be greater than 20 minutes.

Getting Around Omaha

Getting around Omaha can be fairly easy task if you remember a few hints: 1) The streets are divided into north and south by Dodge Street, which runs from east to west starting downtown all the way out to west Omaha. Dodge is the main street through town. 2) The city is divided from east and west by 72nd Street. Where Dodge and 72nd Street meet is considered the crossroads. 3) Typically, north/south streets are numbered (i.e. 55th Street) and east/west streets are named (i.e. Maple Street). Streets and Avenues are not the same; they are usually right next to each other, though. 4) The interstate system consists of I-80 going east-west, I-680 heads north off of I80 in west Omaha, and I-480 heads north off of I-80 downtown. Omahas public transportation system, known as Metro Area Transit (MAT), is somewhat limited. Most residents drive to get where they are going. Omaha has been nicknamed the 20 Minute City because almost everything is within a 20-minute drive, although with the suburban sprawl to the west that nickname is really being stretched!

Auto Registration & Licensing

New residents in Omaha have 30 days after establishing residency to purchase license plates, register their vehicle and pay auto taxes. Automobiles are taxed as personal property. Titles and registrations can be processed at these Douglas County locations: Douglas Civic Center - 1819 Farnam St. Rm H02 North Omaha Branch 7414 N. 30th St. Millard Branch 5306 S. 136th St. Maple Branch 2912 N. 108th St. Vehicles previously titled in another state must have their vehicle undergo a VIN number

inspection, which is done at the Douglas County Sheriffs Vehicle Inspection Office located at 1763 Jackson St. 402-444-7532. The cost is $10.00. Then you must bring your insurance and registration information to the County Treasurers office (Douglas County, Omaha 402-444-7103) (Sarpy County, Papillion 402-593-2148). To title your vehicle, you will need your out of state title and the inspection receipt. Title fees are $17.00 for vehicles with liens and $10.00 for vehicles without liens. Licensing fees vary; there is a wheel tax and a motor vehicle tax which is based on your vehicles value.

Aldi: a no frills, value packed grocery store. The quality is great and the money saved is substantial.

regular prices are a little higher than other stores in the area, but their sales are great. You do have to bag your own groceries.

Love Horses? Learn Horsemanship!

Our Mission: Mountain Rose Horsemanship is centered on the belief that every person and every horse is worthy of their best self. The MRH Wholeness Through Horsemanship curriculum translates the horse's natural language into comprehensive instruction for those seeking ultimate partnership with the horse. At MRH, we aspire toward excellent horsemanship in which the relationship is as good for the horse as it is for the human. Through conscious and continual improvement of ourselves, we commit to the betterment of the horse in every interaction, at all times, and in all ways.

About MRH: MRH began in 2006 with the goal of providing quality horse care and trustworthy training based upon the horse's instinctive needs and natural language. Since then, the focus has shifted from educating horses alone to equipping people to teach horses, enabling them to experience rewarding and long-lasting partnership with horses. Today, MRH is proud to offer theWholeness Through Horsemanship program, a comprehensive and progressive horsemanship curriculum that provides horse enthusiasts, of all kinds, the opportunity to learn the art and pleasure of horsemanship in a safe and supportive environment. About the Program: The top priority at MRH is creating mutually benecial relationships between horses and the people who love them. The Wholeness Through Horsemanship program is designed as a progressive and comprehensive curriculum, providing students with a solid foundation upon which to build their horsemanship dreams. Emphasis is placed on understanding the horse's instinctive nature, as well as our own, as it relates to the experience of ultimate partnership with horses. Relationships that are characterized by mutual respect and trust are established through groundwork, after which the privilege of riding may then be enjoyed. Horse owners and enthusiasts alike will gain the knowledge and skills necessary to become their horses trusted and respected partner, both on the ground and in the saddle.
