Catholic Health Initiatives is a nonprofit, faith‑based health system headquartered in Englewood, Colorado. Formed in 1996 through the consolidation of four Catholic health systems, it operates a broad network across 18 states that includes about 100 hospitals, two academic health centers, major teaching hospitals, and 30 critical-access facilities, along with community health-services organizations, accredited nursing colleges, home-health agencies, and living communities. These facilities and services cover the inpatient and outpatient continuum of care, enabling care delivery across a wide range of settings to support healthy communities. As one of the nation’s largest nonprofit health systems, CHI serves diverse communities through its extensive portfolio of care sites and related education and support services. Recent developments within the CommonSpirit Health network in 2024 include the launch of an enterprise-wide national travel program for nurses and an on-demand RN staffing program, signaling a coordinated approach to workforce management across the network. These initiatives illustrate how a large, faith-based health system seeks to align services and staffing across a broad geographic footprint.
