At HCA Healthcare, we are driven by a
single mission: Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of
human life. HCA Healthcare is dedicated to giving people a healthier
tomorrow. As one of the nation's leading providers of healthcare services,
HCA Healthcare is comprised of 182 hospitals and 2,300+ sites of care in
20 states and the United Kingdom.
In
addition to hospitals, sites of care include surgery centers, freestanding
ERs, urgent care centers, diagnostic and imaging centers, walk-in clinics and
physician clinics. Many things set HCA Healthcare apart from other
healthcare organizations; however, at our core, our greatest strength is our
people. Every day, more than 283,000 colleagues go to work with a collective
focus: our
patients. Our focus positively impacts the care experience at the
bedside and beyond. As a learning health system, HCA Healthcare analyzes
data from more than 35 million patient encounters each year. This data helps
develop technologies and best
practices that improve patient care. We also share our learnings with the
larger healthcare community and government agencies to improve care everywhere.
We are proud of the impact we have in our communities through
employment, investment and charitable giving. In 2021, we spent $3.3 billion on
capital investment in land, buildings and equipment. In addition,
HCA Healthcare pays significant taxes that help revitalize communities. We
also provided charity care, uninsured discounts and other uncompensated care at
an estimated cost of $3.3 billion in 2021. At HCA Healthcare, we are
excited about the future of medicine. We believe we are uniquely positioned to
play a leading role in the transformation of care. To read more about how we
have made an impact for our patients, our colleagues and our communities,
