YEAR IN REVIEW

For over 130 years, The Christ Hospital Health Network has been the destination for superior healthcare in the Tristate, and 2022 was no exception. We continued to improve the health of our regional community with the addition of new programs, strategic partnerships, expanded locations, and more healthcare options than ever before—all in an affordable way.

We became members of the Dana-Farber Brigham Cancer Care Collaborative to offer patients greater access to second opinions and innovative clinical trials. Our newly launched world-class heart transplant program and pioneering research will significantly advance our heart failure care. Adding our OBGYN facilities in Springboro has established our network’s furthest northern expansion. And we revolutionized our maternal and newborn care with our state-of-the-art certified Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Now, more than ever, I value each team member’s vital contributions and am proud of the advancements in our offerings and how we do everything it takes to provide world-class patient care. From establishing over 100 locations to revolutionary technology and procedures, our ongoing dedication helps our patients live healthier, happier lives. It is our legacy to meet and exceed the expectations patients have come to expect from us and to ensure that The Christ Hospital Health Network will be your trusted healthcare partner now and well into the future.
