Bellevue Hospital

New York City jail officials say negligence by the Department of Correction factored into a death at the Bellevue hospital outpost serving Rikers Island detainees. The admission is notable because it comes from jail officials themselves, who have repeatedly faced scrutiny over deaths and poor conditions in the city's jail system, and it is likely to fuel ongoing calls for oversight and reform.

Flooding near Nebraska Medicine in Bellevue, Nebraska has blocked a main route to the medical facility, forcing ambulances to take detours through a residential neighborhood. Emergency vehicles are being rerouted as water covers the road, raising concerns about response times for patients needing urgent care at the hospital.
