How We Build Better Communities

There are many ways to champion health.

HCA Healthcare's community support, delivered through the grassroots efforts of our employees, the HCA Healthcare Foundation and HCA Healthcare corporate sponsorships, helps sustain childhood and youth development programs, scholarships, community-based health clinics and the operating budgets of countless not-for-profit organizations across the country. Across the organization in 2023, HCA Healthcare provided more than $43 million to community organizations. HCA Healthcare colleagues supported over 7,300 organizations by giving $16.9 million with HCA Healthcare matching and volunteering more than 182,000 hours.

Strengthening communities

Our model of giving – led by the leadership, service and financial support of our employees in their communities – reflects our view that a strategic outlay of talent, resources and time yields stronger communities. This model also fosters our culture of inclusion and teamwork, strengthens our cultural competence and cultivates goodwill within the diverse communities we serve.

Economic benefit

Through employment, investment and charitable giving, HCA Healthcare strives to make the economies of the communities we serve stronger. Our model of giving — led by the leadership, service and financial support of our colleagues in their communities — reflects our belief that there are many ways to champion health.

Community support

Many of our colleagues live and work in the same communities and neighborhoods as our patients. We want the same things that our patients want: healthier communities that lead to healthier tomorrows.

Sustainability

At HCA Healthcare, our dedication to improving more lives in more ways is directly connected to the impact we have on the environment, as well as our understanding of how the environment impacts overall health and well-being. HCA Healthcare’s environmental strategy includes short- and long-term sustainability plans. Our strategy is centered on incorporating the following four key pillars into our operations: managing energy and water responsibly; enhancing climate resilience; sourcing and consuming efficiently; and managing the environmental impact of our capital programs.

Disaster relief

HCA Healthcare and our Enterprise Emergency Operations Center (EEOC) stand ready to respond to any crisis. It is during crises that the best of who we are shines through, as our scale, scope and experience allow us to ensure patient care is uninterrupted, to support our colleagues and to rebuild our communities.

Supplier diversity

In 2023, HCA Healthcare spent more than $586 million with small, historically underutilized businesses including minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, veteran disabled-owned and LGBT-owned suppliers. By utilizing products and services offered by these suppliers, HCA Healthcare promotes job creation at the local and regional level, which helps create economic stability and improves lives in the communities where our patients and colleagues live and serve.
