Dear HCA Healthcare colleagues,

I am pleased to share that the company has moved forward in a positive manner in the first part of 2025. We have continued to invest in our strategic agenda at record levels to increase capacity in our facilities, to develop a stronger workforce, and to advance more digital solutions in our operations. These investments have directly benefited our patients by creating easier access to care, better-trained caregivers, and more available technology.

As I have mentioned in past letters, I travel to our facilities often throughout the year. Every time I visit one of them, I am reminded of why HCA Healthcare is unique among the world’s health systems. Throughout our organization, we are connected to each other in distinct ways — ways that allow us to connect what you do at the facility level to what we can do at the enterprise level because of our size, our resources, and our reach. This connection benefits everyone: our patients, our communities, and each other. When we advance together in productive ways, we create positive outcomes for our stakeholders, new opportunities for our organization, and a brighter future for the communities we serve.

Each fall, we celebrate an important part of our company’s culture with our highest honors, the HCA Healthcare Awards of Distinction. This celebration highlights some of the remarkable contributions of our colleagues, physicians, and volunteers. This year’s nominees and recipients reflect the best of who we are. Their stories are meaningful examples of putting our values into action, and they should serve as an inspiration to each of us to do the same.

As part of this magazine, you will also read about other exciting ways our colleagues delivered on our mission — through research, trials, and innovation, by giving back and volunteering in powerful ways, and by improving colleagues’ experiences and patient outcomes.

I am prouder today than ever to be part of this organization. It is my privilege to be your CEO. Thank you for all you do for this great company and the many ways you bring our mission to life.

Sincerely,
