Community Hospital Corporation

What Community Hospital Corporation does

Community Hospital Corporation (CHC) is a Plano, Texas-based not-for-profit corporation founded in 1996 that owns, manages, and consults with community and rural hospitals across the United States. The company operates through three primary divisions: CHC Hospitals (ownership and lease of hospital facilities), CHC Consulting (operational, financial, IT, and strategic advisory services), and CHC ContinueCARE (long-term acute care hospital operations, with 11 LTACHs across Texas, Kentucky, North Carolina, and South Carolina). A fourth unit, CHC Supply Trust, functions as a group purchasing organization partnered with HealthTrust, providing supply chain savings, analytics, and materials management outsourcing to member hospitals.

CHC serves a network of approximately 30 community and rural hospitals, including 25-bed Critical Access Hospitals, multi-facility community systems, and large greenfield developments such as the $400 million Heritage Regional Medical Center (opening 2028) and Valencia County Hospital (opening fall 2026). The platform combines management contracts, ownership/lease arrangements, and project-based consulting engagements, with multi-year contract structures and revenue generated through managed services fees, professional services, subscription-based Options RCM (launched January 2026 with Currance and Optum), and GPO transaction fees. Joint ventures with health systems such as Baptist Health and CHRISTUS Trinity Mother Frances extend LTACH operations within host hospital facilities, with Tyler ContinueCARE Hospital alone generating $32M in distributions to its host hospital through FY20.

Customer acquisition is enterprise-driven, with direct outreach to hospital boards, executive leadership, and community stakeholders, supplemented by industry association relationships, conference participation, and content marketing including white papers, podcasts, webinars, and case studies. Technology capabilities are largely delivered through vendor partnerships rather than proprietary platforms, with key RCM functionality sourced from Currance and Optum, and supply chain analytics integrated through HealthTrust. Headcount is in the 5,001-10,000 range, and the company is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026 while undergoing a planned leadership transition with Justin Doss appointed COO effective July 5, 2026.
