What You Can Do
In moments of darkness, HCA Healthcare's beliefs in
service to others
others, giving back to the community
and caring like family stand out like a beacon of hope.
One way to help is through the HCA Hope Fund, created
in 2005 after hurricanes the previous year affected
hundreds of our Florida colleagues and their families.
It's a colleague-run and -supported 501(c)3 charity with
a clear purpose: to help HCA Healthcare colleagues
and their immediate families (or dependents) who are
affected by financial hardship due to disaster, illness/
injury, domestic violence, a loved one's death or other
dire circumstances. Today, the fund invites colleagues,
vendors, affiliated physicians, patients and the general
public to make tax-deductible donations-100% of
which go directly to colleagues in need.
This year, we further extended our circle of caring
beyond our facilities. After Hurricane Dorian took an
unexpected turn, the EEOC shifted its attention from
Florida to the Bahamas. Within a week, the Board of
Directors of the HCA Hope Fund approved a special
resolution to help with evacuations, colleague travel,
burial expenses and emergency supplies for dependent
HCA Healthcare family members in the affected area. ■

the organization meet the
needs of people affected by
all kinds of disasters nationwide. We also support the

Along with hurricane relief aid,
we've donated more than
$1 million toward American Red

as the Home Fire Campaign
to encourage use of smoke
detectors and "Together We
Prepare" disaster training.
