The Metropolitan Chicago Healthcare Councill (MCHC) was a membership and service organization organized to advocate for member hospitals.
MCHC was composed of more than 140 hospitals and health care organizations in the Chicago metropolitan area.[1]
The Council's members included hospitals, physician groups, nursing homes, outpatient treatment centers, insurers, medical schools and other health care-related organizations.
