Centura Health

Through a Joint Operating Agreement between CommonSpirit Health f/k/a Catholic Health Initiatives and Adventist Health System Sunbelt Healthcare Corp (Adventist Health System n/k/a AdventHealth), Centura Health Corporation (CHC) provides management services to 17 acute hospital campuses, along with numerous physician practices and clinics. CHC also provides management services to home care, residential, assisted living, long-term and hospice services. CHC was created to establish an integrated health delivery system across Colorado and western Kansas, with one very important vision - to provide whole person care to every community, every neighborhood, every life. The facilities operated by CHC are sponsored by AdventHealth and CommonSpirit Health, both of which are religious, nonprofit health systems. An ecosystem of connected people, services and care sites, CHC has created a common information technology platform that allows greater efficiencies and sharing of information across CHC facilities. This results in an improvement in health care delivery regardless of whether the patient is in a rural or urban area served by Centura facilities. CHC provides direct benefit to the community through various initiatives. From access for the uninsured, to community classes and education, CHC works diligently to coordinate and facilitate the community benefit activities of its facilities and entities.CHC is passionately responding to the ongoing needs of its neighbors, patients and communities to build whole person care and healthy communities. Some examples of the services the health system provides include the following: Ask-a-Nurse Call Center, a free community service for all Coloradoans with a direct link to experienced nurses providing hands-on care, including class scheduling and symptom checker; our two health SETs (Service, Empowerment, Transformation) in Colorado Springs and Denver working to increase access to services for the uninsured and underinsured; and our pastoral nurse program helping to meet the needs of our community's homeless.Through a multitude of education programs, preventive care and safety initiatives, health advocacy, counseling and support groups, the facilities and entities that form CHC are committed to extending its Mission to serve all individuals throughout its hospitals, physician practices and clinics, urgent care and emergency centers, and more. The cost savings realized by this coordinated community benefit model enables Centura facilities and entities to dedicate additional resources to provide high-quality health care and community outreach services to the most vulnerable members of society.
