HCA HealthONE is the largest healthcare organization in Colorado. It’s a healthcare network of hospitals, physician clinics, emergency rooms, a dedicated pediatric hospital, mental health and wellness centers and urgent care clinics. HCA HealthONE employs more than 12,000 people, serves more than 1.5 million patients annually and contributes nearly $471 million annually in federal, state, and local taxes.
“The Denver Post Top Workplace award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of every colleague within HCA HealthONE,” said HCA HealthONE President and CEO Chad Christianson. “It validates our commitment to colleague well-being and reinforces our role as a vital part of the Denver community.
HCA HealthONE balances exceptional patient care with wraparound support for colleagues, who can access financial, medical, career and academic resources through the organization.
“HCA HealthONE colleagues feel proud to work for the organization because of our mission, culture and values,” said Christianson. “We foster pride by prioritizing patient care, ethical conduct, and colleague well-being, creating a positive environment where colleagues feel valued and motivated.”
Going above and beyond
That standard of patient and community care begins from within, where leadership focuses on giving colleagues a solid mental, financial, intellectual and emotional foundation for their work.
The organization heavily invests in employees’ ongoing professional development and learning. HCA HealthONE employees can receive tuition reimbursement, scholarships for dependents, student loan repayment assistance and more support for higher education pursuits.
Colleagues can also receive training and learning opportunities through HCA Healthcare’s Leadership Development Institute, which offers formal programming and self-paced learning resources. “Things like this are a major reason why I enjoy working for HCA HealthONE and am excited for my future with this company,” said one Leadership Development Institute participant.
HCA Healthcare also partners with Galen College of Nursing in Aurora, CO. Aimed at addressing the area’s need for skilled nursing professionals. The Galen campus will offer programs to help meet the needs of aspiring nurses.
HCA HealthONE colleagues can also access mental health resources tailored to their unique needs as healthcare professionals. The 24/7 Nurse Care helpline connects HCA HealthONE nurses with master’s-level professionals who offer support. At the same time, HCA HealthONE’s Well-being initiative gives colleagues annual access to free counseling with trained therapists.
And there’s one additional resource that makes HCA HealthONE a special place to work: the HCA Healthcare Hope Fund. The nonprofit fund, supported by HCA Healthcare colleagues across the nation, gives grants to employees who are grappling with personal crises, from natural disasters to domestic violence and other isues. The fund distributes millions in grants each year to HCA Healthcare colleagues, who receive tangible assistance in the most trying moments of their lives.
Listening to colleagues voices
The holistic employee support provided by HCA HealthONE is impossible without one crucial factor: employee feedback.
HCA HealthONE convenes physician and nurse advisory groups that represent those stakeholders’ stances in critical initiatives, ensuring employees have a seat at leadership tables. The Awards of Distinction program regularly recognizes employees for exceptional work, while the Colleague Recognition Program allows employees to honor one another for commitment to their work and organizational values.
The organization has also implemented a biannual company-wide engagement survey that allows all employees to share their thoughts and input.
Serving the community
At HCA HealthONE, the external community matters just as much as the internal culture. HCA HealthONE is focused on ethical care, patients and community engagement, meaning the organization strives not only to provide respectful, compassionate medical resources, but to form relationships in the community.
To that end, HCA HealthONE works with organizations like Denver’s Mile High United Way, the American Heart Association, the Girl Scouts of the USA, the March of Dimes and more, supporting initiatives that range from stroke awareness and prevention to safe medication disposal.
“These programs demonstrate HCA HealthONE’s dedication to community engagement and social responsibility, with colleagues actively participating in initiatives,” Christianson said.
In HCA HealthONE’s everyday services, the healthcare system’s priority focus on ethical patient care is evident — HCA Healthcare has now earned recognition on Ethisphere’s international “World’s Most Ethical Companies” list for 15 years.
While HCA HealthONE provides the highest quality medical care for our community, it also provides the highest quality environment for colleagues, making HCA HealthONE a Top Place to Work.
