HCA Healthcare Hope Fund
In 2004, destructive Florida hurricanes impacted hundreds of HCA Healthcare colleagues. Immediately, colleagues across the country asked how they could help and began sending in contributions for those affected.
One year later, the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund was officially formalized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit run by colleagues, for colleagues. Those who give to the Hope Fund are supporting their fellow colleagues who face financial hardship due to natural disaster, illness or injury, domestic violence, death of a loved one or other unexpected situations. Since its inception, the Hope Fund has distributed over $115 million in grants to help more than 56,000 HCA Healthcare families.
