In times of emergencies and large-scale disasters, HCA Healthcare applies our scale and experience to ensure continuity of care so that patients and communities can continue to rely on us. Ahead of the 2024 hurricane season, which spans from June 1 to November 30, HCA Healthcare held an annual enterprise-wide hurricane readiness briefing to update and equip hospitals. So far, this hurricane season has brought six named storms – including this week’s Hurricane Francine – and the earliest Category 5 storm on record. ?“With planning and preparation, HCA Healthcare is able to stay at the ready to care for our colleagues and patients and respond to what we expect to be a more active 2024 hurricane season,” said Mike Wargo, vice president and chief of HCA Healthcare’s Enterprise Emergency Operations. “It’s not a matter of ‘if’ a hurricane or tropical storm will make landfall near or impact one of our hospitals, but ‘when.’ It’s our job to ensure we have the infrastructure and systems in place to ensure seamless, uncompromised patient care.” As soon as the HCA Healthcare’s Enterprise Emergency Operations Center (EEOC) identifies potential hurricane events, they mobilize to help provide affected hospitals with resources continue providing care.

It’s truly inspiring to see HCA’s contributions in emergency operations. Emergency response capabilities are not only critical during crises but also enhance the overall quality of healthcare services. As a member of the healthcare industry, I understand how vital it is to build strong emergency systems to ensure patient safety and well-being. I look forward to collaborating with fellow professionals in advancing this important field.
You’re absolutely right, HCA Healthcare! Proactive planning and preparedness are key to maintaining top-notch care during emergencies. Thanks for leading the charge in ensuring readiness for whatever comes our way.

Exceptional leadership traits with a love for building teams and program development.
2 个月When I joined HCA's Emergency Management team, I was astounded by the resources and team. Having worked with other healthcare systems, large and small, I can unequivocally say that this is one of HCA's greatest accomplishments, especially the SATL Division. I am certainly going to miss the team.
