History

In 1996, Community Hospital Corporation (CHC) was established by a group of not-for-profit and community-owned healthcare systems with the intention of preserving the not-for-profit status of community-based hospitals. Driven by the passion they shared, this group of organizations formed CHC to protect community hospitals from acquisition by investor-owned hospital systems. Our founding organizations included:

• VHA Southwest
• Baylor Health Care System
• Covenant Health System
• Hillcrest Health System
• King’s Daughters Hospital
• Memorial Hermann Healthcare System
• Richardson Regional Medical Center
• Trinity Mother Frances Health System
• United Regional Health Care System

Since its inception, CHC remains a not-for-profit company whose sole mission is to help hospitals remain community-operated and governed. CHC owns, manages and consults with hospitals across the United States.

CH Consulting was founded in 2006, to assist hospitals needing strategic consulting services, assistance with special projects and opportunities for joint ventures.

Based in Plano, Texas, our organization provides community hospitals with the resources and experience they need to improve the quality of treatment outcomes, patient satisfaction and financial performance.
