HCA Healthcare has invested significantly in the recruitment and training of nurses while also expanding care teams to provide support to our nurses.
Patient care is always a priority; so is caring for our colleagues. Addressing labor challenges is just one way we do that. Since January 2020, HCA Healthcare has opened eight new Galen College of Nursing campuses, including one right here in Asheville to specifically address the nursing shortage in Western North Carolina. In addition, Mission Health has funded an instructor position at three local nursing schools.
