Aultman Alliance Community Hospital, a non-profit hospital that was founded in 1901, is licensed for 204 beds including 78 nursing home/transitional care beds that are found in our attached, long-term care facility, Community Care Center. AACH is fully-accredited by The Joint Commission and offers a quality medical staff of more than 150 active and covering physicians. Aultman Alliance Community Hospital joins some of the most progressive healthcare facilities as an affiliate of Planetree, an internationally-recognized, non-profit organization that advocates patient-centered care and integrates complementary therapies with today's highly technical medical expertise to give patients the best possible healing environment. Planetree founder Angelica Thieriot envisioned a new type of hospital, where patients could be active participants in their own care and experience support and healing on many levels. Planetree has several core components. Here is a sampling of them and an explanation of how Aultman Alliance Community Hospital is putting each one into practice.
