CHOMP parent company getting a new name

The non-profit parent company of the Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula is getting a new name.

Currently called the Community Hospital Foundation, the new name will be Montage Health. And while that’s changing, CHOMP will keep its name.

According to the communication and marketing department, the re-naming reflects the company’s promise to evolve as healthcare needs change, noting a growing service.

“The name Montage was chosen,” President and CEO Steven Packer, MD, said,”because we are a collection, a montage, of entities designed to keep people healthy and connected. Preventive, restorative, palliative, and coordinated care. Many parts operating with a single, shared vision.”

The Montage Health family includes CHOMP, Aspire Health Plan, Community Health Innovations, Peninsula Primary Care, and Peninsula Wellness Centers.
