TriHealth is a unified health system based in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States.[1] It was originally formed in 1995 to bring together physicians, Bethesda and Good Samaritan Hospitals and the community. The system now comprises four hospitals, Bethesda North, Good Samaritan, Bethesda Butler,[2] and TriHealth Evendale Hospital, and can be accessed through over 100 locations. TriHealth offers a broad range of services and programs, and has numerous physicians and specialists on staff. TriHealth's non-hospital services include physician practice management, fitness centers, occupational health centers, home health and hospice care.[3] TriHealth is one of the largest employers in greater Cincinnati with over 11,000 employees [4]

TriHealth is ranked as a top employer in the country,[5][6][7] and a top heart hospital.[8] Bethesda North and Good Samaritan hospitals are ranked among the top hospitals in Cincinnati, both with patient satisfaction scores significantly higher than the national average.[9] TriHealth Corporate is located at 619 Oak Street, Cincinnati, OH 45206

History

In 1995, the sponsors of Bethesda Hospital (founded in 1896) and Good Samaritan Hospital (founded in 1852) formed a partnership to become TriHealth. TriHealth was based on a partnership of physicians, hospitals and the community.

By 2000, "difficult decisions" – such as closing Bethesda Oak Hospital – had come about. Yet, through it all, TriHealth retained 98 percent of the physicians from both Good Samaritan and Bethesda North, and nearly all of Oak's employees secured jobs within TriHealth.

By 2005, the organization initiated the first stages of extensive renovations and expansion at both hospitals.

Today, Bethesda and Good Samaritan hospitals both have added new towers, which will ensure enough beds for patients through at least 2020. Additionally, the system now employs more than 500 physicians and has created six institutes for specialized, patient-centered care, further tying the organization together as a system.[10] In December 2015, John Prout, president and chief executive of TriHealth retired, leaving Mark Clement to succeed his duties beginning January 2016.[11]
