About the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund
As HCA Healthcare colleagues, our top priority is caring for our patients, but through the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund, we can also support one another. The Hope Fund is a 501(c)3 public charity that provides emergency funds to our colleagues when significant hardships arise due to illness, injury, natural disasters, or other difficult situations that impact their essential needs. All HCA Healthcare colleagues can contribute to the Hope Fund and apply for assistance.
Our mission
The mission of our Hope Fund is to provide compassion and assistance to our colleagues and their families in times of need.
Our history
In 2004, hundreds of HCA Healthcare colleagues were affected by the Florida hurricanes. Immediately, our colleagues throughout the United States wanted to help. Contributions came in and were disbursed to HCA Healthcare families that had been impacted.
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 20+ years since, colleague contributions (along with HCA Healthcare matching) have given $125.3 million to more than 50,452 colleagues and their families (as of December 2025). That’s 50,452 hard times made better by each other.
