Methodist Health System leaders and staff are mourning the loss of Stephen D. Long, the system’s president and chief executive officer from 1992 to 2007.
Remembered for his integrity and mentorship, Steve died Jan. 31 after an extended illness. He was 78.
Under his leadership, Methodist expanded with the construction of a free-standing cancer center, an outpatient surgery center and a new campus for Nebraska Methodist College.
After his retirement, Steve continued to make a difference for Methodist, our patients and communities as an honorary member of the Methodist Hospital Foundation Board.
We recently celebrated the opening of the Latacha Education Center at Methodist Hospital, a project that your gifts made possible.
The center includes dedicated education and conference space for patients and families and an advanced simulation lab where staff can practice medical emergencies and more in a safe, controlled environment.
What makes this project even more significant — it’s named in memory of Dr. Matthew Latacha (1976-2023), a beloved Methodist electrophysiologist who practiced with kindness, compassion and skill.
The Latacha Education Center continues his legacy of caring and pays tribute to his passion for education.

Our caregivers see it every day—the power of the human spirit. It’s a commitment to recovery after a stroke, sports injury or total joint replacement. It’s the drive to adapt to a life-altering diagnosis: Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, seizures and more.
Invest in the best kind of stories—stories of resilience—by helping us serve a growing patient population at Methodist Hospital. Your gifts will support the needed expansion of one of our core service lines: orthopedics and neurology.
