The Deaconess Initiative
Dr. Henry J. Heimlich, 1920 - 2016 / Inventor of the Heimlich Maneuver & Founder of the Heimlich Institute at Deaconess Associations
It all started IN 1888...
The Deaconess legacy is one of compassionate care in the Christian tradition that has enhanced Greater Cincinnati’s health and well-being through hospital and specialty healthcare services since 1888.
Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, today Deaconess is a diversified, not-for-profit enterprise managing a $500 million-plus portfolio of health services, programs, investments, and community grant initiatives in Greater Cincinnati and across the country.
The Deaconess team tirelessly searches for new ways to improve people’s health while lowering costs through research, new technologies and consumer education. They believe that today’s healthcare yields the best outcomes when concentrated on improving access to care, encouraging prevention, and supporting wellness initiatives.
The organization's business success also enables them to make a range of social investments that reach people where they live and help meet otherwise unmet needs. Deaconess supports causes that directly and immediately save lives, satisfy unmet health needs, and improve the quality of lives they touch.
