Founding Organizations
During a time of increasing hospital competition, the founding organizations
had a vision to address community health concerns outside of clinic space. The
ICH was created to provide a resource for research excellence, technical assistance,
and surveillance of health topics important to the communities we serve. These
founding organizations continue to guide ICH's activities through membership on
the Board of Directors.
