Our Sponsors
In 1996, Adventist Health System (AHS) and Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) hospitals in Colorado formed Centura Health, a faith-based, nonprofit health care network designed to manage-and strengthen-their hospitals and services in Colorado. Since their earliest days, Adventists have been active in establishing hospitals that place an emphasis on whole person care and on illness prevention. Catholics are well known for their tradition of caring for the poor. Both sponsors have preserved an unwavering commitment to their values and an understanding of the vital role that ministering to spiritual needs can play in health care.
Catholic Health Initiatives
Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) is headquartered in Denver with operations in 20 states, including 78 hospitals, 40 long-term care, assisted-and residential-living facilities and two community health-services organizations. Ranked as the nation's second-largest Catholic health care system, recent annual revenues reached $8.2 billion.
