History
On February 27, 1950, CCH became a non-profit organization, consisting of twenty-one beds. Since that time we have continued to grow with the needs of the community and today we have 40 beds with 16 active physicians on our Medical Staff as well as physicians providing services in a consulting and courtesy capacity. We are considered an acute care hospital employing over 175 people. The Hospital is directed by the Administrator, James Vanek, CEO, and governed by a Board of Trustees comprised of members of the community who donate their time and energies.
