HCA HEALTHCARE
HOPE FUND

In 2004, hundreds of HCA Healthcare colleagues and their families in Florida were affected by a string of hurricanes. Immediately following the storms, HCA Healthcare employees throughout the United States wanted to know how they could help. Contributions came in and were disbursed out to HCA Healthcare families that had been impacted. To these families, the contributions from their fellow employees represented much more than financial relief. They represented hope that life might soon return to normal.
The Hope Fund has since evolved to support HCA Healthcare colleagues and their families when facing financial hardship. This hardship can be in the form of disaster, illness or injury, domestic violence, death of a loved one, or other difficult situations.
The HCA Healthcare Hope Fund is:
• An employee-run, employee-supported 501(c)3 charity
• A public charity
• Governed by an independent Board of Directors comprised of employees from across the country
• Not an employee benefit
What started as an informal way to help one another soon evolved into a nonprofit organization, and the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund was officially formalized in July 2005. In the 19 years since, colleague contributions (along with HCA Healthcare matching) have given $107 million to more than 55,000 colleagues and their families (as of July 2024). That’s 55,000 hard times made better by each other.
