CHI Health (formerly Alegent Health) is an American regional healthcare network based in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The combined organization consists of 28 hospitals, two stand-alone behavioral health facilities, and more than 150 employed physician practices in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and North Dakota. CHI Health is part of CommonSpirit Health and is legally designated a non-profit organization.
History CHI Health was formed in 1996 as Alegent Health as the result of a merger of Bergan Mercy Medical Center and Immanuel Medical Center. The combined entity included the two hospitals and the Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, Iowa, Memorial Hospital in Schuyler, and Mercy Hospital in Corning, Iowa. The network later purchased Midlands Hospital in Papillion, Nebraska in 1997.
In 2012, Alegent Health began an affiliation with Creighton University and purchased their hospital. As part of the purchase, Alegent Health rebranded to Alegent Creighton Health in September of that same year. In 2014, its parent company, Catholic Health Initiatives, merged it into CHI Nebraska. Following the merger, the combined entity became known as CHI Health. After its parent company merged with Dignity Health in February 2019, ownership was transferred to the combined entity, now known as CommonSpirit Health.
