History

In 1995, the sponsors of Bethesda Hospital (founded in 1896) and Good Samaritan Hospital (founded in 1852) formed a partnership to become TriHealth. TriHealth was based on a partnership of physicians, hospitals and the community.

By 2000, "difficult decisions" such as closing Bethesda Oak Hospital had come about. Yet, through it all, TriHealth retained 98 percent of the physicians from both Good Samaritan and Bethesda North, and nearly all of Oak's employees secured jobs within TriHealth.

By 2005, the organization initiated the first stages of extensive renovations and expansion at both hospitals.

Today, Bethesda and Good Samaritan hospitals both have added new towers, which will ensure enough beds for patients through at least 2020. Additionally, the system now employs more than 500 physicians and has created six institutes for specialized, patient-centered care, further tying the organization together as a system.[11] In December 2015, John Prout, president and chief executive of TriHealth retired, leaving Mark Clement to succeed his duties beginning January 2016.[12] TriHealth announced an $85 million expansion in Montgomery in January 2020.[13]
