“Trihealth, inc. ("trihealth") combines the strengths of two of greater cincinnati's finest health care organizations, bethesda hospital, inc. ("bethesda") and the good samaritan hospital of cincinnati, ohio ("good samaritan"). Formed in 1995, trihealth created an integrated health delivery system whose mission is to improve the health of the people it serves, with an emphasis on prevention, wellness and education. Trihealth is dedicated to delivering the best care possible. Bethesda and good samaritan have values rooted in spiritual heritage and compassionate services to the community. Bethesda was founded in 1896 by german methodist deaconesses to care for cincinnati's sick and poor. A catholic organization, good samaritan was established in 1852 under the sponsorship of the sisters of charity to provide care for the poor and medically underserved. In keeping with these early purposes, trihealth continues to provide uncompensated care to those in need. The "tri" in trihealth represents its hospitals, physicians and community working together to improve the health and wellness of the people it serves. The "tri" also expresses our commitment to the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of health. In serving the community's needs, trihealth offers comprehensive services at more than 50 convenient locations in the greater cincinnati and tristate area. Its sites include two hospital locations and physician office buildings in addition to fitness, rehabilitation, occupational health and outpatient centers. Trihealth also provides services in the home and in the workplace and delivers care and education cooperatively through community-based organizations, such as churches, schools, clinics and social agencies. Trihealth hospitals have been recognized locally and nationally as top-rated in maternity care, neonatal intensive care, cardiac surgery and cardiology, orthopedics, urology, neurology/neurosurgery, and endocrinology. Trihealth provides administrative support services for both bethesda and good samaritan as well as various subsidiaries and affiliates. The administrative support services include general administration, information systems, finance, human resources and other general support services. These costs are allocated to the various trihealth entities and the entities reimburse trihealth at cost.

Therefore, the allocated service costs are presented on trihealth's form 990, parts viii and ix in the aggregate as the expenses are presented as management and general expenses on the forms 990 for bethesda and good samaritan.”
