AHV was established in 2001 by Ascension Health with a commitment of $125 million to invest in expansion- to late-stage healthcare companies. Ascension Health is the nation's largest Catholic and largest nonprofit health system serving patients through a network of hospitals and health facilities in 20 states and the District of Columbia. AHV offers its limited partners the ability to earn venture-level financial returns while providing early insight to future healthcare developments. In 2007, AHV closed a second fund, CHV II, L.P. with $200 million in commitments from Ascension Health, Catholic Health Initiatives and Catholic Health East. AHV will serve as the general partner of CHV II, L.P. and provide management services. CHV II will continue the investment strategy that AHV employed in its first fund, targeting expansion to later stage medical device, healthcare technology and healthcare service companies in areas of interest to the limited partners. A portion of the fund will also be committed to other healthcare venture funds.
