It’s Time to Stand Up and Demand Better
#HCACareCrisis
HCA Healthcare is the largest hospital chain in the U.S. It is also a for-profit system, netting billions in profits for HCA shareholders and top executive. A new report reveals that HCA's systemic low staffing – far below industry averages – is contributing to a patient care crisis inside HCA hospitals.

Compared to national averages ...
- Staffing levels at HCA-owned hospitals are 30% lower
- CMS has flagged twice as many HCA hospitals for having higher than average death rates for pneumonia patients
- Twice as many HCA hospitals were flagged by CMS for having higher than average rates of respiratory failure after surgery
Meanwhile, HCA hands out billions to
shareholders and executives
- HCA has paid out $32.2 billion to investors since 2011.
- In 2021, CEO Sam Hazen made $20.6 million – while the lowest paid HCA workers made less than $15 per hour.
Patients, Families and Caregivers are calling on HCA to:
- Raise staffing to safer levels
- Pay living wages and benefits for all workers
- Ensure safe working conditions
- Invest in frontline workers and patient care, NOT more payouts to investors
