about_us

Since our founding in 2005, Capella Healthcare has emerged as a national leader in the development and operation of healthcare facilities. The Company was founded by seasoned healthcare professionals with a vision to provide clinical, operational and financial expertise to community hospitals in order to make a positive difference in the local healthcare environment.  With the philosophy that all healthcare is local, Capella collaborates with each hospital’s medical staff, board and community leadership to take care to the next level.

In recognition of its impressive growth, Capella Healthcare was recognized by Modern Healthcare in 2012 and 2023 as one of the nation’s fastest growing health care companies. Capella was the highest ranked acute-care hospital company on the prestigious “Healthcare’s Hottest” listing of 40 in 2023 and one of only 13 organizations to make the list both of those years.

Capella is dedicated to helping hospitals deliver a new level of healthcare for their communities through innovative market strategies, experienced leadership, and capital investment to grow services and expand the regional influence of each hospital.  As a privately company with significant resources, Capella has access to vital leadership and financial capital, investing in its family of hospitals to strengthen and expand services and facilities.

Capella has earned a national reputation for identifying creative partnerships tailored to specific communities. In 2014, Capella launched a clinical affiliation with MUSC Health in South Carolina. Together with  Capella’s two newest hospitals in the region, they are building a strong regional network to better care for patients. Additionally, in the state of Washington, Capital Medical Center has partnered with UW Medicine to better serve the South Sound region. Both of these collaborative partnerships will become case studies for how outstanding community hospitals can provide world-class care without compromising the unique attributes for which they are most appreciated – compassionate personal care, delivered close to where people live and work.

Finally, leaders have described Capella’s business strategy as solid, not just in the words used to describe it, but in how we successfully execute it.  And, now more than ever, hospitals’ business strategies must include strong partnerships in order for them to thrive and continue improving care in the era of healthcare reform.

Capella’s leadership understands the complex dynamics of the delivery of healthcare, hospital growth and expansion of services. It is our depth of hospital experience that gives us the ability to see new opportunities and build long-lasting relationships with hospitals and communities so that – working together – we can look to the future with confidence.
