We place a high value on physician input, and in 2018 we conducted more than 575,000 calls with physicians to gain insights on resources, issues and efficiencies. In response, physicians are connected with leaders who create action plans for improvement or resolution.
To allow physicians more time to spend with patients, we offer access to state-of-the-art facilities, the latest in medical technology and actionable insights from our vast network of patient data.
Through proprietary research and trials based on clinical data from more than 31 million patient encounters, we have dramatically driven down incidence of bloodstream infections (including MRSA), maternal mortality, infant mortality, NICU admissions and more.
Our integrated network shows consistent patient volume growth, resulting in more competitive growth opportunities for the physicians who practice with us. Our leading business management and operational excellence allows us to consistently make significant investments in local hospitals and communities to improve, add to and update facilities and equipment. In 2019 alone, we invested $4.2 billion in land, buildings and equipment.
With 250+ residency and fellowship programs, HCA Healthcare plans to continue to grow the largest GME community in the United States. HCA Healthcare offers GME programs across a broad spectrum of specialties, in locations across the country.

HCA Healthcare Co-Founder
From the beginning, HCA Healthcare founders Dr. Thomas Frist, Sr., Dr. Thomas Frist, Jr. and Jack Massey envisioned creating a healthcare company with the scale, resources and clinical expertise to provide patient-focused care at a time when many communities were growing rapidly and needed more access to healthcare. In 1968, they formed Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) – one of the first hospital companies in the United States.
