The Elizabeth Gamble Deaconess Home Association (EGDHA)
The Elizabeth Gamble Deaconess Home Association traces its origins to 1891 efforts by James Gamble. The current entity structure dates to 1985. It functions as a supporting organization for The Christ Hospital Health Network and The Christ Hospital, Inc. The association deploys capital across secondaries, public equities, and direct holdings. Positions include a stake in Davide Campari-Milano and units in the GMO International Large/Mid Cap Value Fund. It also holds Hamilton County Hospital Facilities Authority bonds and maintains authority over The Christ Hospital Campus real estate. Geographic exposure centers on the United States with limited international equity holdings. Two employees manage day-to-day operations from Cincinnati. Northern Trust serves as custodian. GMO and Lazard act as investment advisors. RC Capital has advised since 2004. The association maintains memberships at the Cincinnati Country Club and Camargo Club. A board that includes operators from RC Capital provides continuity. The structure ties investment decisions directly to the hospital network's long-term capital needs rather than a standalone endowment model.
