HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE: HCA), one of the nation’s leading
healthcare providers, today announced that it will collaborate with
Johnson & Johnson to address key healthcare industry
issues.
The two leading healthcare companies initially will focus on
improving health equity, enhancing nursing support, and improving
patient outcomes:
- HCA Healthcare and Johnson & Johnson will collaborate on a
scalable program to improve health outcomes through early-stage
lung cancer detection for the Black community. Lung cancer is the
number one cause of cancer death among Black patients1, and the two
companies will begin to work together on a pilot program in the
coming months to increase early identification.
- HCA Healthcare, which has more than 93,000 nurses in its
system, and Johnson & Johnson have a long-standing commitment
to advocating for and supporting nurses. The two healthcare leaders
will work together to incorporate Johnson & Johnson’s nursing
resources within HCA Healthcare and its affiliate Galen College of
Nursing. The companies will work together on health equity issues
focused on educational programming, training and other programs
that elevate and support nurses with a goal of enriching the
nursing experience and skillsets and improving patient
outcomes.
- HCA Healthcare, through its HCA Healthcare Research Institute,
and Johnson & Johnson will collaborate on cardiovascular health
initiatives including a retrospective analysis of patients who
suffer from heart arrhythmia, as well as research to understand the
role digital health technology plays in impacting clinical outcomes
for patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) and Peripheral
Artery Disease (PAD) diseases.
“HCA Healthcare and Johnson & Johnson have had a long and
productive relationship, and both companies have worked very hard
to address many of our country’s healthcare challenges,” said Sam
Hazen, chief executive officer of HCA Healthcare. “We believe
strongly in the power of strategic partnerships, and we are excited
to collaborate to advance health equity, enhance patient care and
provide even greater support to our nurses.”
“No one company can solve society’s most pressing health
challenges alone -- it takes collaboration,” said Joaquin Duato,
chief executive officer of Johnson & Johnson. “That’s why we’re
working with HCA Healthcare to improve patient access and outcomes,
address the nursing crisis, and advance health equity. We are
united in our focus to improve patient care.”
HCA Healthcare uses data from more than 35 million annual
patient encounters to continually improve care. In addition, with
more than 93,000 Registered Nurses (RN), HCA Healthcare is one of
the country’s top employers of RNs and invests significantly in
nurses and nursing through education and professional development,
equipment and technology, resources to promote their physical and
emotional wellbeing, and representation at every level of the
organization from the bedside to senior leadership.
