Why is Omaha the go-to place to hospitalize everyone exposed to the deadly Ebola virus these days?

The Ebola virus is back in town, and Omahans are welcoming it with open arms
By now, it's becoming very clear to anyone who reads the news that Omaha, Nebraska is the go-to place where U.S. government health care officials at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) prefer to send anyone suspected of either having or being exposed to the world's most deadly infectious diseases around the world, such as the deadly Ebola virus, when infected Americans come back to the U.S. for possible monitoring and/or treatment.

Just this Saturday, an unnamed U.S. health care worker, who may have been exposed to the deadly Ebola virus while treating patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), arrived back in the U.S. and was put in immediate quarantine at Nebraska Medicine in Omaha, NE.
