CHI Health (formerly Alegent Health) is a regional healthcare network headquartered in Omaha.

CHI Health is part of CommonSpirit Health and is legally designated a non-profit organization.

History

Alegent Health was created in 1996, resulting from the merger between the Lutheran Immanuel Medical Center and the Catholic Bergan Mercy Medical Center under the Community Health Vision. Also merged were Mercy Hospital in Council Bluffs, Iowa, and two regional health partners, Corning and Schuyler, each retaining their religious affiliations. In 1997, Midlands Hospital was also absorbed.

In 2012, Alegent acquired Creighton University Medical Center and renamed it as Alegent Creighton Health. Also in 2012, Immanuel left the Alegent partnership to focus on its senior programs and Alegent became solely sponsored by Catholic Health Initiatives.{{Cite web | title = CHI completes Alegent acquisition|website=Modern Healthcare |date=February 7, 2007 |url-access=subscription| accessdate = 2015-01-04 | url = http://www.modernhealthcare.com/article/20121101/NEWS/311019954 }} In 2014, Alegent Creighton Health merged with CHI Nebraska and was renamed CHI Health.{{Cite web | title = Health care network becomes CHI Health|website=KETV |date=August 21, 2014 | accessdate = 2015-01-04 | url = http://www.ketv.com/news/health-care-network-becomes-chi-health/27659280 }}
