About HCA Healthcare
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 300,000 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.
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 190 hospitals and approximately 2,400 ambulatory sites of care in 20 states and the United Kingdom.
As a learning health system, HCA Healthcare analyzes data from approximately 44 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.
Our economic impact
We believe there are many ways to champion health, and we embrace our responsibility to support the attributes of a healthy community through employment, investment and charitable giving. In 2024, we provided:
$4.9B

~$4.4B
estimated cost for the delivery of charity care, uninsured discounts and other uncompensated care
$48.5M+
in enterprise giving to community organizations, and
