CRTN Health

What is CRTN Health?

CRTN Health, formerly known as the Covenant Regional Thumb Network,  is a network of six independent hospitals, including Covenant HealthCare in Saginaw, and five critical access hospitals in Michigan's Thumb area: Deckerville Community Hospital, Harbor Beach Community Hospital, Hills & Dales Healthcare, Marlette Regional Hospital and Scheurer Health.

While the Network was officially established in 2018, these hospitals have been working together for more than a decade to make high-quality medical care available to communities throughout the Thumb area.

The Network's Purpose

The affiliation relationship of CRTN Health ensures that Thumb communities have an independent hospital close to home that they can depend on for high-quality care. It also assures that should the need arise for more advanced procedures, extraordinary care is delivered through the highly coordinated relationship between the Thumb hospitals and Covenant HealthCare.

Advantages for the Community
