Adventist health system sunbelt healthcare corporation and ascension health, the sponsors of adventist midwest health (amh) and alexian brothers health system (abhs), respectively, entered into an affiliation agreement that established the joint operating company, alexian brothers-ahs midwest region health co. Which became operational on february 1, 2015. The purpose of the joint operating company is to provide a financially and operationally integrated organization for the common management and operation of the health care facilities and operations of amh and abhs while preserving the adventist and catholic identities and mission priorities that define amh and abhs, respectively. In april 2015, amita health was announced as the d/b/a for alexian brothers-ahs midwest region health co. The word amita is inspired by words from several languages: friendship in italian, honesty and truth in hebrew, and spiritual light and boundlessness in hindi. These words reflect our core values of friendship, truth, and mutual respect for all, as well as our faith-based call to healing. Although the name is new, the values of our two great organizations will continue to be the foundation of who we are and how we care for our communities into the future. The dedication and promise our caregivers show every day to our patients, their families and each other is deeply rooted in the new name - amita health.
