History
TriHealth — Caring for People First
TriHealth combines the strengths of two of Greater Cincinnati’s finest health care organizations, Bethesda and Good Samaritan.  Formed in 1995, our partnership created an integrated health delivery system whose mission is to improve the health of the people we serve, with an emphasis on prevention, wellness and education. We are dedicated to delivering the best care possible.
Our institutions have values rooted in spiritual heritage and compassionate services to the community. Bethesda was founded in 1896 by German Methodist deaconesses to care for Cincinnati’s sick and poor. A Catholic organization, Good Samaritan Hospital was established in 1852 under the sponsorship of the Sisters of Charity to provide care for the poor and medically underserved. In keeping with our early purpose, we continue to provide uncompensated care to those in need.
The "Tri" in TriHealth represents our hospitals, physicians and community working together to improve the health and wellness of the people we serve. The "Tri" also expresses our commitment to the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of health. Our logo incorporates a health care cross representing our mission and a cross representing our common set of values rooted in a spiritual heritage. The sunburst in our logo symbolizes Bethesda’s and Good Samaritan’s hope for and commitment to a healthier community.
In serving the community’s needs, TriHealth offers comprehensive services at more than 50 convenient locations in the Tristate. Our sites include two hospital locations and physician office buildings in addition to fitness, rehabilitation, occupational health and outpatient centers.  TriHealth also provides services in your home and workplace and delivers care and education cooperatively through community-based organizations, such as churches, schools, clinics and social agencies.
TriHealth hospitals have been recognized locally and nationally as top-rated in maternity care, neonatal intensive care, cardiac surgery and cardiology, orthopedics, urology, neurology/neurosurgery, and endocrinology.
