“In 2023, the carle health system implemented a new corporate governance structure and created a carle health system board of trustees. There are five regional boards, including the central regional board (crb) under the system board. The crb has oversight responsibility for the carle health provider entities in the bloomington, normal, and eureka areas. Crb committees include quality, philantrhropy council, community health, executive and an all-region audit & compliance committee. The board met four times in 2024. Quality: in order to streamline the credentialing process, a credentialing by proxy for carle foundation hospital radiologists is being used. This allows carle bromenn medical center (cbmc) and carle eureak hospital (ceh) to accept carle foundation hospital's credentialing of all radiologists as they come on staff. Philanthropy: in 2024, $1,129,714 philanthropic dollars supported various projects at carle bromenn, carle eureka, and carle cancer institute normal. $235,000 specifically supported the operations of the mclean county mobile health clinic.
