Columbus Community Hospital

Columbus Community Hospital is a not-for-profit, 50-licensed-acute-care-bed facility (plus 15 ambulatory outpatient beds) providing Level III trauma, inpatient, and outpatient care. It traces to a 1972 merger of St. Mary's Hospital and Behlen Memorial Hospital.

Local governance

The hospital is governed by a local board of directors rather than a large national health system, a real, distinct community-hospital structure.
