Matthew Bogard, MD accepts
leadership position in Wyman Heights Neighborhood Association
Local Emergency
Medicine doctor excited to help maintain and preserve the ambiance of historic
Ponca Hills neighborhood.
Dr.
Matthew Bogard is excited to represent the Wyman Heights Neighborhood
Association as a member of the Association leadership along with four other
dedicated members of the community.
Wyman Heights is a neighborhood with a proud history that
dates to 1902 when local real estate investor Henry Wyman began acquiring
property on a large hill north of Florence.
He planned to develop an elite neighborhood which in 1925 he re-platted
as Wyman Heights.
Lots began to sell in the late 1920’s with sales stymied by
the Great Depression. Interest in the
neighborhood increased in the years leading up to and after WWII as doctors,
lawyers, business owners and socialites discovered the natural beauty of the
area. Because of this rich history,
Wyman Heights enjoys an eclectic mix of housing styles built over a nearly
40-year span. Many prominent newsmakers
in Omaha’s history called Wyman Heights home, including Peter Kiewit (founder
of Kiewit construction), Gene Leahy (longtime Omaha Mayor and catalyst of
downtown redevelopment), Cecil Wittson, M.D. (prominent early psychiatrics and
namesake of Wittson Hall at the University of Nebraska Medical Center, the
Reeds Family (founder of Reed’s Ice Cream), David Hayden (Hayden House
Restaurants), and Dick Collins, M.D. (The Cooking Cardiologist).
The Wyman Heights Neighborhood Association was formed in
the 1960’s to support the growth, development, and preservation of this unique
neighborhood. It is in that capacity we
are contacting you now.
“My family owned a pharmacy in the area when I was growing
up and I came to learn about Wyman Heights while delivering prescriptions, says
Matthew Bogard, M.D. “I fell in love
with the picturesque views of the Missouri River and the Loess Hills. Neighbors are all so friendly and supportive
of each other and our neighborhood in general.
I love the landscaping we maintain at the entrance and bus stop as well
as the holiday decorations we place every winter.”
