HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA), one of the nation’s leading
healthcare providers, today announced that is has again been
recognized by Military Times as one of the country’s best employers
based on the company’s efforts to recruit, retain and support
current and former service members, military spouses and military
caregivers. Since 2012, HCA Healthcare has hired more than 40,000
veterans, active-duty personnel and military spouses.
The Military Times’ 2022 Best for Vets: Employers ranking is an
editorially independent, highly respected analysis of the policies
and practices that make companies an attractive place to work for
both current employees and future job seekers within the military
community. Rankings are based on the results of a voluntary survey
which seeks to capture the areas of greatest importance to
transitioning service members, veterans and their families when
choosing an employer. Recruitment and employment practices, as well
as retention and support programs, are given the most weight in
scoring.
“We are immensely grateful for the selfless individuals who have
served our country and have chosen to work at HCA Healthcare,” said
Sherri Neal, chief diversity officer of HCA Healthcare. “It is an
honor to be recognized by Military Times again, as we strive to
support and honor our nation’s veterans and military spouses.”
The designation recognizes the work HCA Healthcare is doing to
support and employ veterans, including:
- Launching an internal mentoring program for veterans and
military spouses, which has been successful in helping recently
transitioned veterans navigate the civilian workforce.
- Maintaining a Veteran Colleague Network, an employee-led,
self-directed voluntary network facilitating connection,
collaboration and celebration among colleagues.
- Offering military leave and supplemental pay to eligible
colleagues, and supporting those who want to continue to serve as
active duty military while working at HCA Healthcare.
- Partnering with the U.S. Army Medical Recruiting Brigade to
create the Patriot Partnership Program allowing the Army to provide
specialized training for residency and fellowship programs
nationwide.
- Serving on the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Veteran Employment
and Military Spouse Employment Councils.
- Working with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation on the
“Hiring 100,000 Military Spouses” campaign to help military spouses
seeking meaningful 21st-century career opportunities. As a founding
coalition member in 2021, HCA Healthcare hired more than 1,100
military spouses.
HCA Healthcare has a longstanding commitment to U.S. veteran and
military communities. This year, the company is giving $50,000 to

veterans, their families and first responders, to assist in

organizations.
