Today, we are proud to announce that HCA Healthcare has been named on Fortune’s 2025 World’s Most Admired Companies list. HCA Healthcare is ranked first overall in our industry.

“It is an honor to be named a World’s Most Admired Company by Fortune again this year,” said Sam Hazen, CEO of HCA Healthcare. “Recognition on this list underscores our unwavering dedication to our colleagues and patients as we continue to find ways to innovate and improve lives in the communities we serve.”

To determine the annual list, Fortune collaborated with Korn Ferry, who has conducted the research for the World’s Most Admired Companies list since 1997, to analyze 650 companies across 51 industries and in 30 countries. The top-rated companies were rated by executives, directors and analysts on nine criteria: innovation, people management, use of corporate assets, social responsibility, quality of management, financial soundness, long-term investment, quality of products and services, and global competitiveness.

HCA Healthcare is a collaborative and innovative healthcare network made up of approximately 316,000 colleagues united by a singular mission: Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life. HCA Healthcare collaborates with care teams across its hospitals and facilities to help enhance quality, improve outcomes and share best practices in the pursuit of elevating patient care.

HCA Healthcare also serves its communities during times of crisis. In response to hurricanes Helene and Milton in 2024, more than 700 colleagues were deployed to disaster areas and HCA Healthcare contributed $1.5 million to community organizations to aid in hurricane relief.

This year, HCA Healthcare was also recognized on America’s Most Innovative Companies list by Fortune. The ranking is built on three pillars: product innovation, process innovation and innovation culture. Using its expansive network of care, HCA Healthcare focuses on improving patient care by empowering care teams to develop and implement innovative AI technologies and data-driven solutions. HCA Healthcare’s Digital Transformation and Innovation (DT&I) department continues to build on its technology platform investments intended to help drive quality, performance and growth while seeking to bring about positive change to improve patient and care team member experience.

Additionally, 33 HCA Healthcare hospitals were named on the 2025 Fortune/Premier 100 Top Hospitals list. The annual list is based on public data that reflect measures of clinical outcomes, operational efficiency, patient experience and financial health. The HCA Healthcare hospitals included on this year’s list are:
