When Josie Abboud, FACHE, stepped into her role as President and CEO of Methodist Health System on January 1, 2026, she wasn’t stepping into the unknown. 

She’s spent three decades at Methodist, rising through the ranks in clinical, operational, and executive leadership roles. Now, as the newest leader of one of the region’s most trusted institutions, she’s bringing a steady hand and a fresh perspective to an Omaha mainstay. 

“For 135 years, Methodist has been a constant in a city defined by growth,” Abboud said. “It’s more than a health system. It’s a community promise built on connection, compassion, and a relentless drive to improve.”
