Hospital Information

Carson City Hospital is a 77-bed, acute care hospital located in central Michigan. It is the oldest osteopathic hospital in Michigan, founded in 1936 by Emmett Binkert, DO. Since this time CCH has been committed to serving the residents of communities in a four-county area.

In the fall of 1996, CCH became a part of Carson Health Network. CHN was introduced to work as an umbrella under which all the individual healthcare entities are contained. CHN includes Carson City Hospital, family medicine practices and several specialty clinics offering a wide variety of services.

The family medicine professional medical staff, in cooperation with hospital based specialists, serves patients in Ashley, Carson City, Fowler, Greenville, Ithaca, Lyons, Maple Rapids and Stanton.

In addition to acute hospital care, CCH provides a variety of advanced services, ranging from an intensive/coronary care unit to a behavioral health unit and multiple outpatient services. CCH also provides 24-hour Emergency Room Care. Physicians are available to you any time at the hospital, day or night for emergency or non-emergency medical assistance.

In January 1997, CHN became affiliated with the Sparrow Health System of Lansing, Michigan. This affiliation has many benefits including holding down health care costs, improved access to specialized services, access to information systems, managed care contracts and new physician recruitment.

CCH is a member of the Michigan Health and Hospital Association, American Hospital Association and the Michigan Osteopathic Association.
