Today, HCA Healthcare announced the results of our seventh annual We Show Up for Our Communities days of service volunteer initiative. In alignment with National Volunteer Month, our colleagues across the country donated their time and expertise to help improve the health and well-being of the communities we serve.
“Caring for our communities is at the heart of HCA Healthcare. We Show Up for Our Communities reflects the strong commitment our colleagues have to serving others, not only in our hospitals, but also in the neighborhoods where we live and work.”
Virginia Tenpenny, vice president of community engagement at HCA Healthcare and president of the HCA Healthcare Foundation
This year, the initiative resulted in:
- 1,866 nonprofits supported across the nation
- 9,790 colleagues who volunteered to meet local needs
- More than 41,800 hours dedicated to volunteering in the communities HCA Healthcare serves
Headquartered in Middle Tennessee, HCA Healthcare is deeply rooted in the region and committed to supporting the communities it serves. In Nashville, nearly 3,000 HCA Healthcare colleagues participated in volunteer activities across the city, resulting in nearly 13,500 volunteer hours served.
