Omaha children's hospital launches Kids Force One helicopter, builds temporary helipad

Due to construction, Children’s has three giant construction cranes on site


The Children’s Hospital & Medical Center in Omaha, Neb., has introduced a dedicated helicopter and is building a temporary helipad during a separate construction project, according to an article on the Live Well Nebraska website.

Children’s is adding the Hubbard Center for Children, a nine-story, clinical facility set to open in 2021. Because of the project, Children’s has three giant construction cranes on site. 

The hospital’s transport teams currently are using a helipad at neighboring Methodist Hospital

The temporary helipad in a nearby lot will give pilots bound for either hospital another option. Because of an increase in pediatric transports, Children’s is also launching a dedicated helicopter, which it’s calling Kids Force One.
