While Centura Health itself was formed in 1996, our tradition of loving care spans more than 130 years through the work of our sponsor-Catholic Health Initiatives.

Formed to advance and strengthen the Catholic health ministry into the 21st century, Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) is unique among health care systems. Catholic Health Initiatives is a national not-for-profit health care organization comprised of 68 hospitals, 43 long-term care, assisted and independent living and residential facilities and six Community Health Services organizations. CHI is located in 19 states, serves 68 rural and urban communities, represents more than 67,000 employees and is governed by a truly equal religious-lay partnership.
