    CHI Health Mercy Corning 603 Rosary Drive Corning, IA 50841 Visit us at: 641.322.3121 http://www.chihealth.com/ http://www.chihealth.com/ 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.

  • How We're Building Healthier Communities
    How We’re Building Healthier Communities 2017 Community Benefit Report OUR CORE VALUES The Mission of Catholic Health Initiatives is to nurture the healing ministry of the Church, OUR MISSION supported by education and research. Fidelity to the Gospel urges us to emphasize human dignity and social justice as we create healthier communities. Dear Friends, While politicians grapple with what to do about health care, we, at CHI Health, are delivering it. We are not waiting for Washington to tell us what to do, we are making bold moves to ensure everyone in our community has access to health care whether or not they can afford it. It is a basic human need and as a faith-based organization, we are called to provide high quality care — period. Our mission at CHI Health calls us to educate, heal and build healthier communities. We do it at the highest levels because it’s the right thing to do. This publication is a transparent report of the dollars we, as a not-for- profit organization, have invested in our communities over the last year. In fiscal 2017, which closed on June 30, 2017, CHI Health invested more than $191.4 million back into our communities. That reflects a 31.1 percent increase over 2016. The majority of those dollars went to caring for the poor and underserved as explained below. CHI Health places our Community Benefit into three main buckets: • Care for the uninsured or underinsured: CHI Health provided $80.2 million in care to our community neighbors who need it but couldn’t afford it.

  • Community Benefit Report
    Community Benefit Report How We’re Building Healthy Communities 2020 Dear Friends – We are living through days that will, for generations to come, be the subject of history lessons around the world. The global pandemic, social unrest and economic uncertainty are very real. We see it in masked faces, physical distancing and curbside pickup. Each day there are news stories of businesses furloughing their employees or even closing their doors. These unprecedented events require extraordinary human kindness. For CHI Health, it means treating every person with unparalleled compassion and grace. For those fighting COVID-19 it means stepping in during those moments when a family member cannot be at the bedside. Human connection – human kindness – during these times is priceless. For our communities, human kindness means investing millions of dollars to ensure those who need care get care even when they can’t afford it. It means providing healthy foods to the hungry and bringing safety and help to those experiencing domestic violence while quarantined at home. I am proud to share with you that CHI Health invested $188.6 million dollars in our communities in FY2020. Those dollars represent the 207,160 people served through medical financial assistance and another 146,128 people served through Medicaid. These are people who cannot afford care and cannot afford to be sick. We don’t turn them away, we embrace them. Here are some examples of how: • CHI Health expanded its transfer center as COVID-19 cases surged to make sure every patient, regardless of their ability to pay, was cared for at a hospital where care was available - not just our hospitals, every hospital in the region.
