Christ Hospital

For more than 115 years, The Christ Hospital has grown to become a leader in medical excellence by continuing to plan and innovate for the future.

The Christ Hospital is consistently recognized as one of the best hospitals in the United States and is Greater Cincinnati's top choice for adult health care. For the past 12 years, Christ has been awarded Cincinnati's Most Preferred hospital (NRC). In 2007, it was listed by U.S.News & World Report as one of America's Best Hospitals in five key specialties: Heart and Heart Surgery, Neurology and Neurosurgery, Geriatrics, Orthopedics and Respiratory Disorders.

Patients of this 555-bed, not-for-profit acute care facility receive personalized health care provided by trained specialists using the most sophisticated medical technology available, including state-of-the-art intensive care units, surgical facilities, cardiac catheterization labs, three new electrophysiology labs, newly remodeled and expanded endoscopy labs, dialysis facilities, three magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) units, the Tristate's first positron emission tomography (PET) scanning capabilities and a new daVinci surgical robot.

The Christ Hospital offers services in cardiac care, women's health, major surgery, cancer, behavioral medicine, and orthopedics. The hospital further supports health care through a highly-regarded independent internal medicine residency program, family medicine residency program and The Christ College of Nursing and Health Sciences.
