- "CATHOLIC HEALTH EAST (CHE) is a multi-institutional Catholic health system, which is co-sponsored by nine religious congregations and Hope Ministries, a Public Juridic Person within CHE. Based in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, the System provides the means to ensure the continuation of the Catholic identity and operational strength of the sponsors' health ministries, which are located within 11 eastern states from Maine to Florida.
"The System includes 33 acute care hospitals, five long-term acute care hospitals, 24 freestanding and hospital-based long-term care facilities, 11 assisted-living facilities, four continuing care retirement communities, seven behavioral health and rehabilitation facilities, 39 home health/hospice agencies, and numerous ambulatory and community-based health services. Catholic Health East facilities employ approximately 54,000 full-time employees as partners in ministry."
As per http://www.che.org/regional,
- "Regional Health Corporations (RHC) is [sic] an entity sponsored by a Regional Community, Religious Congregation or public juridic person and has CHE as its sole member."
Within the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Catholic Health East operates Mercy Health System of Southeastern Pennsylvania, as well as St. Mary Medical Center of Langhorne.
As I have yet to receive a response from St. Mary Medical Center or the Archdiocese, I am unclear as to whether Drs. Frank Craparo & Stephen Smith have truly been disassociated from St. Mary Medical Center. In either case, they remain on the online directory of Mercy Health System of Southeastern Pennsylvania!
