Investing in healthier tomorrows
Creating pathways to healthcare careers
Through partnerships with school districts, colleges and education organizations across Florida, we are helping students explore healthcare careers and prepare for meaningful futures in the field. Since 2021, these efforts have reached 72 school districts and state education organizations across 27 Florida counties. Together with the HCA Healthcare Foundation’s Healthier Tomorrow Fund, we are investing $1 million over three years in the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations to support the Career Pathways to a Healthier Florida program. So far, more than 11,000 students have taken part in nurse shadowing, lab-based training and other job-ready learning opportunities.
We are also investing in higher education to help strengthen Florida’s future healthcare workforce. As part of HCA Healthcare’s $10 million pledge over three years, more than $3 million has been directed to universities across the state, including support for Nova Southeastern University, Florida International University and Florida A&M University. These investments help expand training opportunities, strengthen academic programs and support students as they prepare for careers in healthcare.
Supporting healthier communities
Health is shaped by more than clinical care. Access to nutritious food, mental wellness support and strong community connections can all make a difference in a person’s health and healing. That’s why work with community partners to support needs that reach beyond the walls of our facilities.
Through partnerships with local food banks, we help expand access to nutritious food for families and communities.
In partnership with EVERFI, students receive education and tools that support mental wellness. Since 2020, EVERFI and HCA Healthcare’s Understanding Mental Wellness course has reached more than 232,000 students and about 3,100 teachers with hands-on creative mental coping strategies.
Through Musicians On Call, patients, families and caregivers experience the healing power of music during some of life’s most difficult moments. Since partnering to expand live and virtual music programs, HCA Healthcare and Musicians On Call have helped bring music to more than 225,000 people.
Our colleagues help bring this work to life through volunteerism and community partnership. When students have more opportunity, families have stronger support and communities have better access to the resources that shape health, Florida is better prepared for a healthier tomorrow.
