The Christ Hospital

The Christ Hospital

The Christ Hospital Health Network is a 120-year-old network of physicians and staff that includes a 555-bed, nonprofit acute-care facility located in Cincinnati, OH. The Christ Hospital was founded by the Elizabeth Gamble Deaconess Home Association, a philanthropic organization that continues to own and support it through selective grants for major clinical programs. The network offers a diversity of services, including cardiovascular care, spine treatment, women’s health, major surgery, cancer, behavioral medicine, orthopaedics, emergency care, kidney transplant, and other services. In 2006, the hospital withdrew from a joint operating agreement with the Health Alliance of Greater Cincinnati and in 2008 began operating independently. The Christ Hospital is consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the nation’s top 50 hospitals in several categories and is accredited by The Joint Commission, the oldest and largest healthcare standards-setting and accrediting body in America.
