its early years, focusing on a core group of market-leading hospitals using its financial resources, management capability and clinical expertise.

Today, HCA is a leading provider of healthcare services, with locally-managed facilities that include approximately 169 hospitals and approximately 113 freestanding surgery centers in 20 states and London, England. HCA affiliates employ approximately 180,000 people. The company has developed industry-leading patient safety initiatives to prevent healthcare-associated infections like MRSA and bar-code systems to help prevent medication errors.

The company has produced multiple generations of executives who have gone on to start or lead other healthcare companies in Nashville. Over the past several decades, three new health care industry segments were founded or fostered in Nashville -- hospital management, freestanding outpatient surgery centers, and physician practice management groups. Today the Middle Tennessee area is home to nearly 300 healthcare companies operating on a multi-state, national, or international basis.

According to an economic study by the Nashville Health Care Council, Nashville's healthcare industry has a total economic impact of $18.3 billion in the Nashville region. Additionally, it is the area's largest non-governmental employer, with 95,000 people directly employed in the industry, and it accounts for more than 154,000 jobs related to healthcare.
