Improving Community Hospital Performance is Our Specialty

Partnering & Organizational Alternatives

Community hospitals deserve an ally with resources to help them succeed

Financial pressures and other forces are causing community-based hospitals nationwide to consider the pros and cons of forming a relationship. CHC works with hospitals to understand the situation and design mutually-beneficial relationships. Based on the specific needs and circumstances, CHC structures relationships that are unique to each client.

The first step toward a potential relationship is often an operational assessment to evaluate the hospital’s cost structure and operational performance. The process concludes by outlining recommendations for the best path forward.

When a partnership makes sense, CHC has a variety of options including consulting services, strategic support agreements, hospital management, acquisition and lease models. 

For many community and rural hospitals, CHC is the best match, especially when culture and not-for-profit mission are similar. Further, CHC’s ownership model upholds a community voice in hospital operations through local board representation. 

No matter what level of support your hospital needs, CHC is here to guide and enhance your organization.
