HCA Healthcare, Inc. (NYSE:HCA), one of the nation’s leading
healthcare providers, today announced the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund,
a 501(c)3 public charity that provides emergency funds to
colleagues when significant hardships arise due to illness, injury,
natural disasters or other difficult situations, has surpassed $100
million in grants awarded since its founding in 2005. In 2023
alone, more than $11.4 million in assistance was distributed to
help more than 3,700 HCA Healthcare colleagues and families.
“This milestone for the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund is possible due
to the generosity of our colleagues,” said Joe Flynn, president of
the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund. “We are grateful for their
selflessness and compassion, as they give back to fellow colleagues
struggling with circumstances beyond their control. Through each
donation, our colleagues truly embody the mission of HCA
Healthcare.”
The Hope Fund’s founding story exemplifies the dedication of HCA
Healthcare and its colleagues to care for patients, communities and
one another. After hundreds of Florida colleagues were hit by
devastating hurricanes in 2004, HCA Healthcare colleagues
throughout the country contributed donations for those who had been
impacted. What began as an informal way to help soon evolved into
the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund, a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity
run by colleagues, for colleagues. In 2005, as the Hope Fund was
ramping up operations and Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, HCA
Healthcare gave an additional $4 million to help colleagues in need
after the storm.
Each year, more than 35,000 donors contribute to the HCA
Healthcare Hope Fund to help their peers facing financial hardships
due to illness, injury, natural disasters or other difficult
situations. The HCA Healthcare Foundation also contributes more
than $4 million a year to the fund by matching colleague
donations.
The Hope Fund is an essential charitable organization for HCA
Healthcare colleagues during devastating natural disasters. In
2022, after Hurricane Ian made landfall on the west coast of
Florida as a powerful category 4 hurricane, leaving more than 2
million people without power and causing extensive damage to
communities in its path, the Hope Fund provided approximately $1.2
million of support to impacted colleagues. In total, more than $25
million has been given in Hope Fund grants to aid in natural
disaster relief.
