History

The MCHC was founded in 1935.

In 2013, the MCHC started Land of Lincoln Health, a not-for-profit health insurer.[2][3] In September 2014, Dan Yunker was named CEO of the company, replacing Kevin Scanlan.[3]

In April 2015, MCHC announced plans to merge with the Illinois Hospital Association.[4] The merger was completed in January 2016.[5]
