HCA Healthcare

Our founders envisioned an organization that would bring together hospitals to improve the practice of medicine. Today, we have the privilege of caring for patients across 189 hospitals and approximately 2,600 ambulatory sites of care in 19 states and the United Kingdom.

At HCA Healthcare, we are driven by a single mission:
Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life.

In pursuit of our mission, we stand by the following value statements:

We recognize and affirm the unique and intrinsic worth of each individual.

We treat all we serve with compassion and kindness.

We trust our colleagues as valuable members of our healthcare team and pledge to treat one another with loyalty, respect and dignity.

We act with absolute honesty, integrity and fairness in the way we conduct our business and the way we live our lives.

Who we are

Many things set HCA Healthcare apart from other healthcare organizations; however, at our core, our greatest strength is our people. Every day, more than 320,000 colleagues go to work with a collective focus: our patients. This focus guides our work to develop comprehensive, local healthcare networks that deliver high-quality and convenient care, as well as our investments in solutions to aid the overall well-being of our colleagues.

As a learning health system, HCA Healthcare analyzes data from approximately 47 million patient encounters each year. We use this data to develop technologies and best practices that help improve patient care. We also share our learnings with the larger healthcare community and government agencies to help improve care everywhere.

Strong partnerships with organizations that share our commitment to excellence in healthcare enhance the scale of our integrated network of care, support our operational efficiency and elevate the standard of care we provide for our patients. Our affiliated lines of business are critical to our mission: to care for and improve human life.
