Our people and our communities
Whether you're in one of our Charleston-area hospitals now or you need us in the future, we show up to provide you with the high-quality, personalized care you deserve. With a number of hospitals, emergency rooms, physician offices and urgent care clinics across the state, care from an HCA Healthcare affiliated facility is closer than ever.
In the community
Our hospitals are more than places where care is delivered. They are anchors of stability, innovation and compassion. From emergency services and advanced specialty care to preventive screenings, wellness programs and community education, we work to meet people where they are and support them at every stage of life.
Community impact is at the heart of everything we do. Our hospitals provide millions of dollars in charity care and uncompensated services each year, support local nonprofits, partner with schools and civic organizations and participate in outreach programs that address food security; advocate and promote heart health for all communities; champion positive mental wellness; ensure all moms and babies have a strong, healthy start; expand opportunity and access to healthcare careers; improve access to cancer care; and support healthy eating and active living. We are proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our neighbors during both everyday moments and times of greatest need.
Mission and vision
At HCA Healthcare our mission is simple and powerful: Above all else, we are committed to the care and improvement of human life. Every day, our hospitals, physicians, nurses and colleagues live out that mission by serving as trusted partners in the health and well-being of the communities we call home.
Our vision is to be recognized as a compassionate family of diverse healthcare professionals who pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service with quality outcomes for our patients.
