NCH Healthcare System, doing business as Naples Comprehensive Health (NCH), is a nonprofit, locally governed multi-facility health system headquartered in Naples, Florida, founded in 1956. It operates two acute hospitals — NCH Baker Hospital (Downtown Naples) and NCH North Naples Hospital — with a combined 713 beds, supported by an alliance of more than 900 physicians (over 700 independent plus 250+ employed providers in the NCH Medical Group across 40+ outpatient locations spanning Collier and Lee counties, from Marco Island to Bonita Springs.
