Alegent Creighton Health

Alegent Creighton Health, doing business as Chi Health Midlands, is a Nebraska-based tax-exempt hospital and non-profit organization that operates as a sub-recipient on federal health grants rather than as a prime contractor. The vendor has received three federal grant sub-awards over the past three years, all routed through the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services as the prime grantee, with a combined obligated value of $354 thousand.

Chi Health Midlands' federal grant work focuses on healthcare quality improvement and public health response. Awards include a sub-award from the Health Resources and Services Administration in August 2024 for comprehensive quality improvement projects and activities within the CHI Health St. Elizabeth Critical Access Hospital CAH Network; a November 2022 sub-award from HRSA for quality and performance improvement strategies and clinical education programs; and an August 2021 sub-award from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention supporting COVID-19 vaccination outreach and coverage expansion among eligible populations. All three sub-awards are anchored to the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services as the administering prime grantee, concentrating the vendor's federal footprint within the Health Resources and Services Administration and CDC portfolios.

Activity is minimal and sporadic — one sub-award in 2021, one in 2022, and one in 2024, with no prime contract or IDV seats. The vendor has no direct federal contracting authority and operates exclusively as a sub-recipient within state-administered federal health grant programs. The limited dollar volume and sub-recipient-only posture position Chi Health Midlands as a small healthcare provider with ad hoc federal engagement rather than a sustained federal contractor.
