Each year, an estimated 47 million people in the United States face food insecurity, struggling with hunger and its impact on health and well-being, according too Feeding America. At HCA Healthcare, this moves us to act.

As part of our commitment to strengthening the health of the communities where we serve, our colleagues and the HCA Healthcare Foundation work year-round to support local food banks, pantries and soup kitchens – through volunteer service, financial contributions and in-kind donations.

This holiday season, we continued that commitment with our annual Healthy Food for Healthier Tomorrows Food and Nutrition Drive. Thanks to the unbelievable generosity of colleagues across the country,we provided 1,162,108 nutritious meals to food banks in the communities we call home. These contributions included non-perishable items and financial donations to help purchase perishable healthy essentials like milk, fresh fruit and vegetables.

This record total reflects something bigger than numbers – it’s how we show up.It demonstrates the growing dedication of our HCA Healthcare family to support nutrition security and strengthen the wellbeing of our communities.

The more than 1 million nutritious meals provided to families in need this year came from a variety of generous contributions including:

* 84,697 meals donated directly by colleagues
* 193,632 meals funded through colleague charitable donations
* 883,779 meals made possible by HCA Healthcare hospitals and divisions and $170,000 in grants from the HCA Healthcare foundation

Sculpting healthier tomorrows

As part of our Healthy Food for Healthier Tomorrows Food and Nutrition Drive, hospitals across HCA Healthcare’s network of care were encouraged to get creative by building sculptures from donated food items before delivering them to local food banks.These imaginative displays not only showcased the generosity of our colleagues but also underscored the collective spirit driving our commitment to nutrition security.

Each division sculpture winner received a $10,000 grant from the HCA Healthcare foundation to benefit a food bank serving their hospital’s community.To amplify the impact,an additional grant was awarded to the top three division winners,further strengthening support for food banks in their local communities.

This year, 13 HCA Healthcare divisions submitted sculptures – each one a reflection of the compassion, creativity and dedication of our colleagues nationwide.

First place: Good Samaritan Hospital’s Can ‘We Show Up’ House

HCA Healthcare’s Good Samaritan Hospital in San Jose, California, earned top honors this year with a sculpture inspired by the beloved home from Disney-Pixar’s Up. Just as Carl and Ellie’s house symbolizes love, adventure and steadfast support, the hospital’s creation reflects how Good Samaritan Hospital and HCA Healthcare “show up” for their community in meaningful ways.

The life-sized Can ‘We show Up’ House structure – 10 feet wide, 10 feet long and six feet tall – captured the charm of the iconic home. Hospital colleagues incorporated the film’s vibrant balloons and even included “Doug,” the loyal companion portrayed by one of the hospital’s pet therapy animals.
