Saving Grace Perishable Food Rescue hosted a unique brunch fundraiser at Le Bouillon, featuring a menu crafted from rescued food. The event aimed to elevate the organization’s mission of rescuing and redistributing perishable food to support the community while also creating a healthy, more sustainable future.

Chef Joel Walsh of Le Bouillon shopped the Saving Grace’s refrigerated truck prior to the event, drawing inspiration before developing the menu, which included items such as shakshuka, Croque Madame and chicken and waffles. Nearly 70% of the menu included ingredients that were provided through Saving Grace’s rescue efforts.

BY SAVING GRACE PERISHABLE

The brunch not only showcased the creative potential of rescued food but also highlighted the importance of community-driven solutions to food insecurity. Over 100,000 individuals in the Omaha-Council Bluffs metro area face food insecurity, while more than one-third of food produced goes unsold or uneaten.

Funds raised through the brunch will support Saving Grace’s operations, including its fleet of refrigerated vehicles used to rescue and redistribute food to organizations serving vulnerable members in our community.

TOP 5 THINGS TO KNOW

Lincoln

commission weighs rezoning at 48th and O

The Lincoln-Lancaster County Planning Commission has recommended approval of a proposed rezoning of one of the city’s busiest commercial districts. The proposal would change zoning around 48th and O streets to create a mixeduse district that could include housing as well as businesses and would make it easier for some businesses in the area, such as hotels and grocery stores, to sell alcohol.

The Lincoln Journal Star reported the area is zoned H-2 — highway business — and would be reclassified as a “mixed-use corridor district.” The new H-2 district would extend west to east along O Street from 40th Street to Cotner Boulevard and north along 48th Street to Holdrege Street, if approved.

A couple of different business zoning districts — B-1 and B-3 — now located within the proposed mixed-use corridor district would be rezoned to the revamped H-2 district, a change that would not affect how the businesses located there now operate. The revamped district is also hoped to increase the opportunity for much-needed new housing in Lincoln.

Noddle Companies announces Gretna development

A new 31-acre, mixed-use project at Gretna Landing, located near Highway 370 and 192nd Street, was announced by Noddle Companies on Feb. 25. The development will be anchored by a 130,000-square-foot office building, flexible space designed for services, retail, food and beverage space, plus housing development.

“We are very excited to expand our services into the Gretna area,” said Jay Noddle, chairman of Noddle Companies, via a release. “Our track record of success with mixed-use developments provides a strong foundation for this project, as well as future projects that are possible as we work together with Gretna city leaders.”

The new project is expected to break ground in the third quarter of 2025.

Governor applauds EPA decision

The Environmental Protection Agency has confirmed its intent to uphold the current April 28, 2025, implementation date for year-round access to E15.

“Today’s decision underscores EPA’s commitment to consumer access to E15 while ensuring a smooth transition for fuel suppliers and refiners,” said EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin in a release.

Last year, the EPA issued its final rule, which E15 proponents called a significant win for ethanol-producing states. Nebraska is one of eight states fighting a summertime ban on the higher ethanol blend.

“Nebraska is in a leading position to reap the benefits of E15, both from the production as well as the consumer side,” Gov. Jim Pillen said via a release. “This is a significant step forward in growing our state’s ag and biofuels economy.”

South Sioux City’s inland port application certified

The Nebraska Department of Economic Development has certified South Sioux City’s application to create an inland port authority to manage an inland port district.

Nebraska’s designated inland port authorities augment the state’s strategic position as a transportation and logistics center in the heart of the country. The Municipal Inland Port Authority Act of 2021 incentivizes development of new industrial hubs and provides communities with tools to acquire and develop large shovel-ready sites.

The act authorized DED to certify up to five proposed inland port authorities and inland port districts, of which South Sioux City’s application is the fifth. DED previously certified applications from Lincoln County, a joint application from the City of Fremont and Dodge County, the City of Bellevue and the City of Omaha.

Omaha Sister Cities strengthens ties with Xalapa

Steve Gerdes, president of Omaha Sister Cities Association, recently met with Alberto Islas Reyes, newly elected Mayor of Xalapa, Mexico, to rekindle a long-standing relationship between Omaha and Xalapa, one of its eight official sister cities. Gerdes traveled to Xalapa, the capital of the state of Veracruz, to reaffirm Omaha’s commitment to the partnership.

The Omaha-Xalapa sister city relationship dates back to 2005 and has resulted in art and student exchanges, however the relationship has waned in recent years.

During the meeting, both leaders expressed enthusiasm about reviving the relationship and initiating new cultural and education exchanges, economic development opportunities and international travel between its citizens.

50 YEARS OF ADVANCES REVOLUTIONIZE HEALTH CARE

Revolutionary advances have happened in health care over the past 50 years. These innovations have not only led to improvements in accessibility, prevention, diagnosis and treatment, they are transforming the way hospitals deliver health care today.

Having supportive partners in government in addition to corporate and private donors is absolutely essential to stay abreast of this rapidly growing industry, said Chanda Chacón, president and CEO of Children’s Nebraska.

Facility growth changes landscape

“It’s exciting to reflect back over the last 50 years and see how Omaha’s health care landscape has changed,” said Josie Abboud, president and CEO

of Methodist Hospital and Methodist Women’s Hospital, and executive vice president of Methodist Health System.

Indeed, the physical landscape of health care has changed dramatically. In 1975, health care services were primarily available at a hospital’s main building or campus. Most Omaha hospitals have now grown into large health care systems and networks with clinics and specialty centers throughout Omaha and greater Nebraska, increasing accessibility and convenience.

Nebraska Medicine dates back to 1869 when it was Bishop Clarkson Hospital, the state’s first. In 1997, it merged with University Hospital to form Nebraska Health System. In the Omaha metro area, the nonprofit, academic health system now includes Nebraska Medical Center, Bellevue Medical Center, 17 primary care clinics and more than 50 specialty care clinics.

In addition, communities in greater Nebraska are served through 41 specialty outreach clinics as well as telehealth services that are available to nearly every Nebraska county. The hospital opened the 54,000-square-foot Fred and Pamela Buffett Cancer Center in Kearney in December 2024.

Nebraska Medicine CEO James Linder, M.D., said, “It is this purposeful growth that helps us meet our clinical and educational missions while also meeting the need for convenience, lower cost and high-quality care.

“This growth has also resulted in an increase in care from 250,000 patients 50 years ago to more than 1.2 million today, and has grown our employee population to approximately 10,000.”

Working with the University of Nebraska Medical Center, Nebraska Medicine has also seen a dramatic increase in clinical research funding, from about $7 million in 1983 to $250 million in 2024.

“Much of this research is externally funded so it has a profound economic impact on the city and state, which is estimated at nearly $4 billion a year,” Linder said. This growth has also fueled the expansion of health care education in Nebraska. Nebraska Medicine is the major teaching facility for UNMC, Clarkson College and about 38 affiliated institutions. These teaching facilities reach about 3,000 students each year taught by 850 faculty, a significant increase from 50 years ago when the

hospital had about 50 full-time faculty.

Research is also taking a front seat at Children’s Nebraska with the recent opening of the Mammel Innovation Center, dedicated to developing and testing technology — such as artificial intelligence, virtual reality and 3D printing — for use in pediatrics. The hospital also has more than 350 pediatric studies in the works at the Child Health Research Institute, a partnership between Children’s Nebraska and the University of Nebraska Medical Center that received $17.7 million in funding in 2023.

Keeping up with the Joneses

The growth and expansion of Children’s Nebraska has been equally impressive. The health system now employs more than 4,000 health care employees. From the

first children’s hospital, founded in 1948 at 44th Street and Dewey Avenue, the facility increased to 100 beds in 1981 with a move to the north tower of Methodist Hospital at 83rd and Dodge streets.

In 2000, Children’s opened the Wiebe Tower across the street. Children’s Specialty Pediatric Center opened in 2010, housing more than 50 outpatient specialty clinics. Starting in 2021 the organization’s capacity to care for children doubled with Hubbard Center for Children, expanding the hospital to 225 beds, including a 48-bed Level IV neonatal intensive care unit, 32-bed pediatric intensive care unit and a 50-bed cardiac care unit.

The Children’s Nebraska network also includes 11 outreach clinics in Nebraska, South Dakota and Iowa, as well as pediatric specialty clinics in Lincoln and Sioux

City. Children’s Nebraska is also planning an expansion of its behavioral health services with the addition of a new facility, the Behavioral Health & Wellness Center. Expanding its reach outside of Omaha, Children’s recently opened a behavioral urgent care facility for children and teens in Kearney.

“The need for behavioral health has been rapidly increasing for more than a decade with more than 25,000 behavioral health patient visits and 746 emergency department visits last year alone,” Chacón said.

Methodist Health System also saw ways to fill a much-needed medical niche when it opened the region’s only medical campus dedicated to women’s health in 2010.

“Methodist was experiencing continued growth within our women’s service line and the majority of that was coming from west Omaha,” Abboud said. “The strategic move to build a women’s hospital was to meet our community need.”

CHI Health, a part of CommonSpirit Health, formerly Alegent Health, has also established a significant footprint in the health care landscape in Omaha and greater Nebraska. The health system includes five full-service hospitals in the Omaha area — CHI Health Lakeside, CHI Health Immanuel, CHI Health CUMC-Bergan Mercy, CHI Health Midlands and CHI Health Mercy Council Bluffs — with 26 total hospitals in Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and North Dakota. In the metro, this includes CHI Health University Campus, Lasting Hope Recovery Center and 17 clinic locations

Technological advancements abound

Advances in technology have been numerous through the years, touching nearly every aspect of health care, significantly improving providers’ ability to prevent disease and diagnose conditions earlier and more accurately as well as treat them more effectively. In addition to significant facility growth, hospitals are also using telehealth

technology to increase accessibility and lower health care costs. Telehealth allows health care providers to see patients in their homes through video calls to provide consultations, assessments, monitoring and even treatments.

Years ago, health care providers relied heavily on X-rays, which primarily provide information about bones and joints. Today, advanced imaging technology such as ultrasound, MRI and positron emission tomography, or PET, can produce detailed images of soft tissues in the body such as muscles and organs. This is enabling doctors to detect and diagnose numerous health conditions more accurately.

Medical advances have allowed preventive medicine to play a more prominent role in health care practice. Robust screenings for diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, cancer and heart disease enable doctors to identify risk early on and initiate medicines and treatments to prevent, slow or treat these conditions.

Once the stuff of science fiction, modern surgical advancements are now common throughout the metro. The new technologies, which include minimally invasive surgery, interventional radiology, 3D imaging and robotics are bringing more precision to the surgical table and allowing for more outpatient surgeries.

“As an example, 50 years ago we were not providing robotic surgical procedures,” Abboud said. “Last year, we performed well over 3,500 robotic surgeries.”

Thanks to these new technologies, “most of our 1.2 million patient visits each year are at our clinics, not in the hospital,” Linder said. Many surgical procedures that used to be performed in a hospital operating room can now be performed in an outpatient setting, allowing patients to complete their recovery outside the hospital.

Coronary heart disease is a prime example of how new technology has dramatically changed in diagnosis and treatment. Fifty years ago, most heart conditions required open heart surgery to repair a blockage, if a patient made it to the operating table. Today, blood tests can detect heart muscle damage and advanced imaging technology

can identify blockages. This technology, combined with minimally invasive stenting techniques that can open blockages, are helping more people than ever survive this deadly disease.

Advances in therapeutics are changing the way providers treat many diseases by allowing doctors to personalize treatment. Nowhere is this more evident than in the field of cancer. Precision medicine, for example, uses therapies that target specific genes or gene mutations, allowing for therapies that are tailored to the individual patient. Another therapy, called immunotherapy, uses a person’s own immune cells or monoclonal antibodies to kill and attack cancer cells.

Better operations, better outcomes

Other technological advancements have improved and streamlined hospital protocols and operating procedures, enhancing quality of care, patient outcomes and safety by improving patient care management and reducing medication errors and redundancy.

The introduction of electronic health records was one big leap forward, allowing health care providers to easily access and exchange patient information from wherever they are. Today the health care field is undergoing something similarly

radical, the advancement of artificial intelligence, which has already been in use for years.

“Since the late 1990s, computer-aided detection has helped us with mammograms,” Abboud said. “[The technology] identified suspicious areas on the mammograms aiding our radiologists when they reviewed and interpreted the images.”

EHR combined with artificial intelligence has enormous potential to further elevate patient care and reduce unnecessary costs. Currently, Omaha hospitals are using it in areas such as streamlining data management and workflows, automating tasks, billing and scheduling, quality control, integration of data and enhancing patient safety.

“CHI Health is embracing AI in a measured and responsible way, focusing on tools that enhance, not replace, the expertise of our health care professionals,” said Cary Ward, president of CHI Health Nebraska and Iowa.

As the local health care industry continues to embrace AI, hospital leaders believe it will have a tremendous impact on the efficiency of medicine leading to faster breakthroughs in treating disease.

“We are excited about the potential these innovations have to revolutionize health care and improve the lives of our patients,” Ward said.

KEN STINSON, CHANDRA CHACÓN AND RENEE RAFFERTY LEAD THE

A Giant Step for Kids BEHAVIORAL

HEALTH

& WELLNESS CENTER SEEN AS A FLAGSHIP FOR THE REGION AND BEYOND

In an effort to better address the mental health needs of the community, specifically among children and teens, forces have combined to create a new medical facility, the Behavioral Health & Wellness Center, at Children’s Nebraska in Omaha. Proponents say the forthcoming facility will not only serve immediate needs, which are substantial, but will elevate Omaha as a go-to city for this type of care.

“This facility will make us a regional leader,” said Renee Rafferty, senior vice president of behavioral health and wellness at Children’s Nebraska which will operate the center. “One of the unique aspects of this is providing that full continuum of care under one umbrella where we can offer lower-level services such as outpatient, and then we can also bring that crisis intervention with best practice and kids can get the care that they need for higher acuity, like day treatment.

“I think that’s going to be very important for the community. People are going to see that they don’t have to worry about where to go, they can come in our front door and get care.”

Long overdue

Last month, officials gave the media a sneak peek at the $114 million facility under construction, When completed, the new center will encompass 107,000 square feet and open in January 2026. Of the total, media outlets reported, $16 million came from the state via American Rescue Plan Act funding and $15 million from Children’s. The rest was raised from donors, a testament to the recognized need for mental health services for this demographic.

Ken Stinson, who spearheaded the effort for the new facility starting in 2021, founded and heads the Mental Health Innovation Foundation, which is overseeing the construction of the center. Stinson’s activism in the field of mental health dates back more than 25 years when the city was grappling with providing resources for adult patients.

“Back in the early 2000s, two things had happened in Nebraska,” he said. “One, the state mandated the closure of large institutional mental health care facilities in several locations in Nebraska under the thought process that patients would be better served if they were closer to the communities they

came from. Unfortunately, they didn’t put up any funding to do that.

“The second thing is that our inpatient facility in downtown Omaha had been shut down and therefore there was no inpatient care to speak of in the state, really. I became aware of this and I started pulling some people together. Long story short, we ended up buying and then spending about $27 million to refurbish the old Richard Young Center into a new 64-bed inpatient facility called Lasting Hope [Recovery Center].”

That experience led Stinson to the issue of behavioral health resources for children and youth, another area of care that was sorely lacking at the time.

“The facilities that existed then were clearly undersized and very antiquated. Nothing would qualify as state of the art,” he said. “The second thing, aside from the inadequate facilities, was it was very evident that mental health issues with kids had been rising. Most troubling was the amount of suicide ideation and actual suicides that were happening.”

A pressing need

Statistics provided by the Mental Health Innovation Foundation underscore the scope of the problem. Children in Nebraska were experiencing mental illness prior to the onset of COVID-19, and the pandemic only accelerated those numbers. In a national study conducted in 2020 and 2021, 36% of high schoolers in the state reported feeling sad or hopeless almost every day for two weeks within the past 12 months. Beyond that, 20% of children and youth in Nebraska were formally diagnosed with a mental health condition that required treatment in 2021.

Worse, the study revealed 20% of high school respondents considered attempting suicide and 10 percent actually did attempt suicide in the past 12 months. Suicide is now the second-leading cause of death for youths in the country and Nebraska trends above the national average for the number of suicide deaths in adolescents ages 15 to 19, the organization reported.

Innovative design

Both Stinson and Rafferty said the most distinguishing feature of the new center will be its “no wrong door” design, which is intended to make it easier for individuals to receive attention from the moment they walk in.

“The Crisis Assessment Center is really one of the newest services that we’ve seen as a best practice for youth in crisis,” Rafferty said. “With this no wrong door approach, parents can walk in with their kids and see a behavioral health professional immediately, knowing that they’re guaranteed to have a specialty expert in behavioral health come and sit with them and sort through what’s happening and get care for that crisis. That means they’ll get tools to support the child with anxiety or depression or safety planning for suicidal ideation. Whatever the need is, they’re going to have those tools.

“A lot of times what you see in systems is that we’re triaging and telling patients’ parents, ‘OK, we think you might need outpatient,’ and then they have to wait for three months. This service is going to really help kids come in, get care, and then we’re going to help them find that next level of care and they don’t have to wait for it. That’s a very exciting thing to be a part of.”

Rafferty also said that the new center will allow Children’s Nebraska to expand the behavioral health services already being offered.

“The other thing this project demonstrates is Children’s Nebraska’s commitment to acute care,” she said. “We are the only partial-hospitalization eating disorder program for youth in the region. Right now we have six slots and that program’s going to expand to 10 slots. That shows you that our goal is to really make sure, if there’s a need in the community and it is our right spot to fill, that we will step into that spot.”

While other local health care providers have increased their focus on behavioral

health and needed services, it is clear the forthcoming Behavioral Health & Wellness Center will be the flagship in the continuum of care. Stinson’s view is even broader, saying that for all that the new center itself will offer, he sees the potential for an ancillary benefit of enhancing behavioral health care nationwide.

“On the quality of care and the comprehensive nature of this care, I think we will be a flagship for the country,” he said. “The team is already getting inquiries from other places because word is spreading within the health care community. I think this will be a model where I can see a lot of people coming to tour the facility and we’ll at some point probably put on symposiums where they can take things back to their home state. We don’t want to be the only best, we want everyplace to have one of these.

DR. AMY MAYER GAVE UP A THRIVING CAREER IN ACADEMIA TO CHASE HER DREAM

Put on a Happy Fascia

MAYER WELLNESS & MYOFASCIAL PROMOTES UNCONVENTIONAL PAIN RELIEF

To all the world, Dr. Amy Mayer had it made. Happily ensconced in the world of higher education, she’d logged 20 fulfilling years in classroom and administrative roles with Creighton University. Even those closest to her just assumed that is how it would continue until she retired.

What the world didn’t know was Mayer, an occupational therapist by education, had been carrying around an idea for a business for years, a dormant plan looking for the right opportunity to come together.

“I just always had this desire to go back to it, but I was also trying to raise a family and so I was a little scared to jump into private practice until my kids were grown,” she said. “When my kids started having kids, I thought, ‘OK, this is my problem, not theirs.’

“When I was telling family and friends that I was leaving Creighton University at 51 years old, they were like, ‘What about your salary, your benefits?’ I’m like, I will regret it if I don’t try this.”

Uncharted waters

The shock of Mayer’s jump from the comforts of higher education to the perils of entrepreneurship were amplified by the fact she was dealing in Myofascia release, a field of pain relief therapy few people had ever heard of, including many within the health care industry itself.

“Oh, I would say that the medical community is still very uneducated about fascia,” Mayer said matter-of-factly. “I think there’s been really slow traction in educating the public, although I think the public is starting to hear about fascia more, actually,

The medical community is still very uneducated about fascia.

because people are starting to look for less invasive treatments. They’re more fearful of taking medications, they’re less confident in the traditional medical system and their ability to treat pain in a satisfactory way without cutting you open. I think there are a lot of people out there looking for something different.”

For many people seeking something different, Myofascia release checks a lot of boxes. The treatment centers around the health of fascia, a three-dimensional web of connective tissue that exists throughout the body. As described by John Hopkins Medicine, fascia surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place.

An ingenious invention of nature, fascia is comprised of multiple layers of tissue with liquid in between enabling it to stretch with motion. It is also equipped with its own specialized nerves called fibroblasts that reengineer the casing, building up or paring down fascia cells according to stressors or other body conditions.

“Fibroblasts have a lot of responsibilities in your body but there’s two main ones; they can either build your fascial system up, adding to it through the production of more collagen, or they can secrete a substance that takes away the fascia by degrading the collagen,” Mayer said.

“A common phrase in myofascial work is find the pain, look elsewhere for the cause,” she said. “Sometimes the problem is exactly where the pain is but sometimes the contributing factor is somewhere else. You can have layers of tension built up in your body even from things when you were young, like a car accident, or if you haven’t used your body in a way that moves a lot. Then all of a sudden your back or your shoulder hurts even though you’ve never injured it.”

“The only way that those cells know whether to build fascia up or to take it away is through the pressures that it experiences in your body. Your fascia is constantly being built around the choices that you make, the things that you do and the things that you don’t do.”

A new sensation

Fascia-related pain can stem from poor posture, physical trauma, surgery, limited physical movement from sedentary lifestyle or repetitive movements that overwork a part of the body. The pain can also present itself in one part of the body due to a problem in another, Mayer said.

Mayer opened Mayer Wellness & Myofascial Release in 2018 and has since expanded to a second location. The company not only serves patients directly but also holds classes to teach others the technique for treatment, including in the health care community.

“I do a lot of training and education for other practitioners about the science behind the fascial system and how we can use it to help people get better,” she said. “There’s lots of evidence out there about it but the wheels turn so slow in this country. It takes an average of 17 years for medical research to eventually get integrated into practice.”

Fascia forward

Because of this, fascia is not yet recognized by the American medical community as an official therapeutic practice although multiple articles on the subject from prestigious medical centers such as Johns Hopkins and Cleveland Clinic suggest that thinking might be changing. Now 58, Mayer is more energized than at any previous stage of her career, inspired to bring greater awareness to this alternative treatment.

“What I really would love to see happen, not just for my business, but I would love to see every occupational physical therapist on the planet understand the fascial system and use these techniques and consider the fascial system in their overall plan of care,” she said. “I think for patients, understanding the fascial system is very empowering because you can do so many things to keep your fascia healthy without ever coming to see me. I am trying to pull out that bullhorn and get people to listen.”

BCBSNE’s Care Management TEAM SUPPORTS MEMBERS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

The Care Management team at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska is dedicated to meeting members where they are in their health and well-being journeys. From helping members manage chronic illnesses to connecting them with community resources, the team ensures support is always within reach.

For Stephanie Morton, supervisor of nurse care management and care coordination at BCBSNE, this work is personal. A nurse with over 16 years of experience, Morton built a career centered on caring for others.

“I’ve worked in various roles to get to where I am today, including in the neonatal intensive care unit, clinical research and as an OB/GYN nurse,” she said. “I joined Blue Cross in 2017 as a nurse health coach, transitioned to a nurse case manager and ultimately became a supervisor of our Care Management team.”

In recent years, BCBSNE has expanded its team to include community health workers, licensed clinical social workers and licensed mental health practitioners. Additionally, the company introduced a dedicated maternity nurse care manager to enhance its Pregnancy Care Program, providing support through all stages of pregnancy. The additions highlight the company’s commitment to addressing the physical, mental and social aspects of health and well-being.

“I’ve always told our members that I’ve done my job if insurance is the least of your worries when you’re going through a difficult time,” Morton said.

According to BCBSNE’s Nurse-Supported Care Programs webpage, care managers support and guide members to better health.

“It’s not just a medical or benefit aspect,” Morton said. “We’re focusing on our members’ home life, assisting them within the community and getting them in contact with the resources to ensure they’re successful and have the best outcomes possible.”

Morton pointed to the maternity nurse care manager as an example of how the team actively engages with the company’s members through the Pregnancy Care Program, building relationships with local leaders and learning about available programs and resources.

By staying involved in the communities they serve, the team embodies BCBSNE’s mission to champion the health and well-being of its members, meeting individuals where they are and fostering connections that make a difference.

In addition to being a resource for community programs that can improve daily life, the Care Management team supports members with chronic disease management, major life events, traumatic injuries and more.

“If we can do some of the legwork on the back end and collaborate with various teams at Blue Cross, it makes it easier on our members,” Morton said. “Educating members about their illness, helping with medication management and identifying lifestyle changes they can make helps us improve the quality of life and overall health of our members.”

Whether a member needs guidance during pregnancy, support for a chronic condition or help navigating a major life event, BCBSNE’s Care Management team is there every step of the way.

“I like to think of the Care Management team as the cherry on top of everything we do at Blue Cross,” Morton said.

How AI Can Make the S&P 500 “Cheap”

We’re hearing a lot of concerns over rising costs either from inflation or possible tariffs on imported goods. We understand those worries, although feel that the risks are often overblown. Prices at grocery stores and restaurants are unlikely to fall back to pre-pandemic levels, but the rate of inflation has been falling. This is why the Fed lowered rates last year. Regarding tariffs, we’re still not sure if they will be implemented, let alone cause higher inflation. Much of the analysis on tariffs that we’ve seen is fairly static. Corporations understand that their customers are going to have little tolerance for further price hikes. If new tariffs are enacted, then we would anticipate that many businesses would adapt by finding alternative input sources or eat the cost and find savings elsewhere.

We believe one of those areas is artificial intelligence.

S&P 500 Sales and Profit

margin expansion. In some cases, this is already happening. Cursor, an AI start-up, has generated $100 million in annual revenue in just one year with only 12 employees! Recently, Nvidia’s CEO said that he can double or triple the firm’s sales while only increasing headcount by 25%. These may prove to be extreme examples of the operating leverage that AI can deliver. However, we think that 15% cost savings could prove conservative over time.

Many continue to underestimate AI’s potential. Again, there’s a reason that some of the smartest CEOs of our time are investing hundreds of billions into a budding new technology during a time when the cost of money hasn’t been this high in over a decade ― they expect to generate high returns. There are two paths to do this: increasing revenue and/or lowering costs. For now, we’ll just consider the latter.

In the chart above, we try to show the magnitude of what AI can deliver in the future. We took 2025 consensus forecasts of the firms in the S&P 500 and ran three hypothetical scenarios where AI reduces corporate operating costs by 5%, 10% and 15%. Of course, we are not suggesting that such savings would occur in one year, let alone in 2025. However, we do believe that such potential can be realized much sooner than many believe and surpass 15% over time.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, labor represents 62% of corporate costs. Modest decreases in headcount or just being able to grow without much increase in employees can produce dramatic

Our point is to show the profit potential that AI could add to U.S. corporate earnings just through operational efficiencies alone. It can take an “expensive” market multiple of 22x and nearly cut it in half when applying some reasonable assumptions, in our opinion. Note that placing a 20x multiple on the 15% savings scenario would produce over 50% upside in the S&P 500.

It won’t happen all at once but we believe that corporate profits are on the cusp of a meaningful acceleration that’s not reflected in the stock market.

MONICA MILES-STEFFENS, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR, JUVENILE JUSTICE INSTITUTE

Midwest Leaders is a weekly section showcasing individuals who are making an impact in the community through their professional and volunteer endeavors. To nominate someone for this section, email news@mbj.com with the individual’s name, position, company and email.

Bio:

Monica MilesSteffens has spent the last two decades working to improve the juvenile justice processes through direct service, non-profits and government positions. Most recently she was the director of juvenile court services for the Nebraska Administrative Office of Probation. She has worked with grants, community planning, training and program implementation, including the statewide implementation of the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative.

You’ve spent the past two decades helping improve the juvenile justice system. What initially sparked your passion for this work?

I stumbled into juvenile justice work in my senior year of college through an internship at the juvenile detention center in Lincoln. I never thought I would want to work with youth, but I loved it and it helped me realize that if we intervene early, we can help create a more positive trajectory for many of these kids.

I also learned very quickly that the juvenile justice system in Nebraska and across the country had lots of opportunities for improvement, and that often it was systemic issues that were the biggest barriers for youth and families trying to get out of the system. I worked in direct care in detention for five years and since then I have worked in government and non-profit sectors to help improve collaboration, policy and practice here in Nebraska and across the country.

What is one initiative that you are particularly proud to have been involved with?

I am very grateful that in each of my positions throughout my career I have been involved in initiatives that have made a positive impact for youth and families. I am really excited about the national training and technical assistance initiative we are a part of right now. The federal Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention launched a new initiative, Building Local Continuums of Care to Support Youth Success. We were invited by JBS International to be a part of their application to provide training and technical assistance for awarded grantees. We were selected and now our team is one of three organizations supporting grantees across the country.

The exciting thing is Douglas County and York County are current grantees that we are supporting. We are helping them along with the other grantees across the country to develop plans that create a comprehensive continuum of care for youth. This ranges from prevention to re-entering the community after incarceration. It is fun to see the different and creative approaches communities across the country are planning and implementing. I think we will have a great opportunity to share what we are learning and developing with stakeholders in Nebraska.

You recently helped develop a micro-credential course at UNO about restorative justice practices. Who is this course for?

I am passionate about creating professional development opportunities and restorative practices so this program has been something we have been dreaming about creating for several years. Restorative justice practices are the science of building relationships and community. The goal is to help participants do internal reflection and provide key strategies on how to proactively build connections so that when a conflict occurs in a relationship, they also have the tools to know how to repair that situation.

This course is open to anyone working in human services who wants to build these skills. Our first class has participants from different disciplines which has contributed to rich discussion and learning. People can go online to learn more. We also facilitate a Juvenile Justice Certificate

On hard days how do you take care of your mental health and avoid burnout?

Through studying restorative practices, I’ve learned there is a lot we can do to be proactive to avoid burnout and that includes mind, body, and spirit. I make sure to start each day with some quiet time and journaling. I try to make sure I’m getting physical activity and good nutrition. One of my top strengths is “learner” on the StrengthsFinder, so I keep finding new opportunities to learn and grow. This year I’ve started tennis lessons and plan to start learning Spanish. All these things help make the hard days not quite so hard.

A friend or family member is coming to Omaha for the first time. Where are you taking them to experience Omaha like a local?

I am personally a big fan of the zoo. No matter what your age, I think you have to go to the Henry Doorly Zoo when in Omaha. Then we would head to the Inner Rail in Aksarben. I love the variety of options there and enjoy the fun outdoor space when the weather is nice.
