November 11, 2025- CHI Memorial announced that its hospitals and care sites throughout Southeast Tennessee and North Georgia will begin using the CommonSpirit Health name in January 2026. This name change will coincide with the opening of the organization’s new hospital in Catoosa County, Georgia. It is important for patients to know that this change will not affect their care, their physicians, their nurses or the services received at any of the locations.
CHI Memorial’s three local hospitals will adopt the CommonSpirit brand, while maintaining the “Memorial” name that the community has embraced for generations, as CommonSpirit – Memorial Hospital – Chattanooga, CommonSpirit – Memorial Hospital – Hixson and the new CommonSpirit – Memorial Hospital – North Georgia.
By formally adopting the CommonSpirit brand, CHI Memorial’s more than 5,000 local team members, nurses and physicians across three hospitals and 65 care sites will visually align with their parent organization. CommonSpirit Health is one of the nation’s largest faith-based health care organizations, with more than 2,300 care sites and 138 hospitals across 24 states.
