History

Alegent Health was created in 1996, resulting from a long-standing partnership between the Lutheran Immanuel Medical Center and the Catholic Bergan Mercy Medical Center under the Community Health Vision. Both boards unanimously approved the union. The campuses joined together along with Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, Iowa and two regional health partners, Corning and Schuyler, as one health care system while maintaining their own identities and religious affiliations. In 1997, Midlands Hospital joined Alegent Health.

Mergers and acquisitions

In 2012, Alegent acquired Creighton University Medical Center and was renamed Alegent Creighton Health. Also in 2012, Immanuel left the Alegent partnership to focus on its senior programs and Alegent became solely sponsored by Catholic Health Initiatives.[2] In 2014, Alegent Creighton Health merged with CHI Nebraska and was renamed CHI Health.[3]

In February 2019, parent company CHI merged with Dignity Health, forming CommonSpirit Health,[4] the second-largest nonprofit hospital chain in the United States.[5]

gollark: No, though I *do* vaguely remember that from reading the book (only the first one).
gollark: It's hyperbolic geometry, which I quite like.
