The Cause and the Comedian

  • Funds from this year’s event will support the expansion of Methodist Women’s Hospital

    More women, at every stage of life, are turning to Methodist Women’s Hospital for their care. As our multi-state reach and national reputation continue to grow, we need more space to meet the demand.  For All Women is a $16.3 million fundraising campaign to expand the only hospital in Omaha and the state of Nebraska dedicated to women’s health.  We will increase access to the specialized care women need throughout their lifetimes.  

    The project will add 10–14 rooms to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In addition to relieving pressure on the area’s busiest NICU, these new rooms will reduce overflow to adult care areas of the hospital, opening more beds for gynecology patients as well as women undergoing surgery or receiving cancer care.

    For All Women will also fund new technology, including a virtual care platform in the NICU; enhanced telehealth capability; and expanded mental health care and social service programs.
