Better Together
The four Franklin County hospital systems have a long-standing history of working together on pressing healthcare challenges. While we have seen transition in the leaders of our hospital systems, our hospitals continue to share a common belief that many of the issues facing our community can be addressed much more effectively when hospitals work together.
In 2020, the COHC Board of Directors adopted six Strategic Priorities of the Hospital Council along with a three-year strategic plan. In March 2022, the Board reaffirmed its commitment to the Strategic Priorities by adopting the Central Ohio Hospital Council 2022 Work Plan. Our hospital systems are committed to collaborating on a number of initiatives aimed at improving the health and well-being of the residents in Central Ohio including:
