CHI Health is a regional health network with a unified mission: nurturing the healing ministry of the Church while creating healthier communities. Headquartered in Omaha, the organization consists of 15 hospitals, two stand- alone behavioral health facilities and more than 150 employed physician practice locations in Nebraska and southwest Iowa. CHI Health Mercy Corning currently has over 160 full time, part time and PRN Employees. CHI Health Mercy Corning started as Rosary Hospital’s when the origin began in 1942 when a bequest from the Roach Brothers Estate went to Father Powers of St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Corning, Iowa. Fr. Powers had the vision to establish a hospital to benefit the entire community. Fr. Powers approached the Felician Sisters in Chicago to request qualified sisters to staff and operate the hospital upon its completion. With the bequest and additional community support, the $600,000, forty-two bed facility opened its doors debt free in May of 1951. The first staff consisted of eight sisters, a lay staff of forty-two full and part time employees, and a medical staff consisting of eight physicians. Governance of the hospital has been changed five times in the hospital's many years of operation. The Felician Sisters relinquished support to the Des Moines Diocese in 1985. Mercy Health Systems of the Midlands became the owners in August of 1989. The Alegent Health partnership formed in 1996 involved the Mercy Midlands Health System and the Immanual Lutheran System. September 1, 2012 Alegent Health and Creighton became partners and another change in names signified a new relationship developed to improve health care for the region. Changes in names and ownership didn’t end there. August 21, 2014, Alegent Creighton Health announced the name CHI Health to recognize the sole sponsorship of Catholic Health Initiatives of our health care system. At CHI Health, our core purpose is to heal the body, mind and spirit. Our most important focus is to care for our patients and their families. To do this, all CHI Health employees are expected to serve others by incorporating specific behaviors into their day-to-day work. CHI Health Mercy Corning is dedicated to supporting the health and wellbeing of the people in the communities they serve. Thank you CHI Health Mercy Corning for being a great supporter of the Adams Community Chamber of Commerce!
