Allegiance Health
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Allegiance Health is a regional hospital located in Jackson in the U.S. state of Michigan. It was founded in 1915 as Foote Hospital, which it was named until a brand change in July 2008. The hospital opened its doors in 1918 after a local citizen, Mrs. Ida Foote, donated land for construction of the new hospital in honor of her late husband, W.A. Foote.
In 1975, Foote Hospital merged with Mercy Hospital, which was operated by the Sisters of Mercy. Several years later, the two hospitals combined into one facility. The current facility was completed in 1983 and is located near the site of the original hospital. The former hospital, now named the Charles Anderson Building, is used for specialized practices such as sleep disorders, behavioral health, and volunteer services.
Allegiance Health supports 411 beds and offers specialized services including a new Heart Center for cardiovascular services, a recently-expanded Level II emergency room, urgent care centers, pediatric and birthing care, and more.
Allegiance Health operates CareLink of Jackson, a joint venture with Borgess Health System (Kalamazoo) to provide long-term acute care. The Health System also provides care at medical centers Albion, Brooklyn, Grass Lake, Leslie, Mason, Spring Arbor, and Summitt Woods (Jackson). Foote's Radiation Oncology Center also offers world-class cancer care in partnership with the University of Michigan.
In July 2008, Foote Hospital was renamed Allegiance Health.
