About <\/span>Hospital Corporation of America<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) was founded in 1968 by Dr. Thomas Frist Sr., Dr. Thomas Frist Jr., and Jack Massey. HCA was one of the first hospital companies in the United States. The corporation is one of the nation\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s leading providers of healthcare services, and it <\/span>comprises<\/span> 182 hospitals and more than 2300 sites in 20 states of the United States and the United Kingdom. HCA employs more than 283,000 colleagues (HCA Healthcare, n.d.). The HCA\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s key care sites include hospitals, surgery centers, freestanding <\/span>ERs<\/span>, urgent care centers, diagnostic centers, walk-in clinics, and physician clinics (<\/span>Who we are<\/em>, 2023).<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Becker\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Review Hospital, HCA Healthcare saw a revenue of <\/span>$15.5 billion<\/span> in the fourth quarter of 2022. In 2023, HCA expects total revenue between <\/span>$61.5 billion<\/span> and $63.5 billion<\/span>, which makes the organization an excellent choice to conduct a financial analysis (Cass, 2023).<\/span><\/p>\n
