Our Past, Present, and Future:
Associated Healthcare Credit Union (AHCU) is a member-owned financial cooperative that was organized to provide personal financial services to members in a safe and equitable manner. Our roots go deep. We were chartered in February of 1953 as Miller Employees Credit Union. In 1972 Miller Hospital merged with United Hospital prompting a name change to United Hospital Employee’s Credit union. Then in 1974, our membership expanded to include Children’s Hospital, once again prompting a name change to United and Children’s Hospitals Employees Credit Union. Finally in 1988, we changed our name to Associated Healthcare Credit Union, a name that could embrace future growth. In November of 2011, Blue Stone Federal Credit Union, serving the employees of Blue Cross Blue Shield, joined Associated Healthcare Credit Union. A few years later, in January of 2013, HealthEast Employees Credit Union, serving the employees and family of HealthEast, also joined our family.
