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.
Mergers and acquisitions
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.[2] In 2014, Alegent Creighton Health merged with CHI Nebraska and was renamed CHI Health.[3]
In February 2019, parent company CHI merged with Dignity Health, forming CommonSpirit Health,[4] the second-largest nonprofit hospital chain in the United States.[5]
