Respect us. Protect us. Pay us!

HCA caregivers battled the deadly covid-19 virus,
and waves of flu and RSV. We have also fought against HCA’s corporate greed
for our patients and coworkers.
At HCA, the nation’s largest hospital corporation, caregivers are demanding:
Respect Us, Protect Us, Pay Us
Nurses. CNAs. Environmental Services.
Techs. and more.
When HCA uses short staffing to squeeze even more profits, it jeopardizes patient safety and puts workers at risk.
Champions for our patients. Advocates for our communities. HCA workers.
We are stronger together.

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.

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
