Within 13 days, more than 50 HCA Healthcare hospitals across the southeastern United States were pummeled by Hurricanes Helene and Milton. The storms devastated communities and critical infrastructure throughout North Carolina, Florida, Georgia and beyond. With record numbers of those without necessities such as power and safe drinking water, our network of colleagues, community partners and prepared resources were organized to ensure no disruption in patient care and to expedite recovery efforts. Due to the incredible perseverance and leadership of our colleagues, as well as the emergency preparedness efforts developed to match the scale of natural disasters like these, our teams wasted no time in deploying aid to those who needed it most. From life-saving patient transfers and evacuations to the set-up of generators, flood control barriers and tanker trucks of potable water, HCA Healthcare was ready to meet the historic crisis head-on, leaving an indelible impact on our patients, communities and caregivers.
