Central Ohio Hospital Council

On any given issue, from quality and patient safety to disaster preparedness, the hospitals in the greater Columbus area share common interests in serving the community. The Central Ohio Hospital Council allows the region’s four healthcare systems to come together as a community of hospitals and develop innovative solutions to those concerns so that they can best meet the health care needs for the citizens of central Ohio.

Established in June 2008, COHC serves as the convener, the forum for discourse and the advocate for the Council’s four members: Mount Carmel Health System, Nationwide Children’s Hospital, The Ohio State University Medical Center and OhioHealth. The Council assists the four hospital systems in meeting the health care needs of the community by focusing on issues that impact the delivery of quality health care to central Ohioans, such as quality improvement initiatives; electronic health information exchange; assuring a safe, adequate and cost-effective blood supply; mental health access; prenatal care; charity care; and other public health issues. The Council also addresses other projects that demonstrate the community and economic value of hospitals to the citizens of central Ohio.
