Support Florida Healthcare Workers in Our Community

January 1, 1970

We are the caregivers who have dedicated our lives to delivering the best possible care to those living in our communities day in and day out. We are your neighbors. We are the proud caregivers at HCA-affiliated hospitals listed below.



As a community, we are fortunate our hospitals are affiliated with such a profitable corporation, like HCA. But, as the backbone of the hospital, we aren’t getting our fair share. As a matter of fact, below is a list of the lowest starting salaries at our hospitals.



Did you know…HCA is so profitable it can afford to pay its top executives an average of $7.4 million per year?



We have been in contract negotiations with 19 HCA-affiliated hospitals in Florida since February, 2014. Our bargaining committee, made up of more than 75 healthcare workers representing 9,000 hospital employees, has made proposals with our patients’ best interest at heart, as well as our families’ futures.



We expect our HCA-affiliated hospitals will meet our fierce commitment to excellence by making patient and employee satisfaction its bottom line. However, we are being offered wage increases that do not even meet the rising cost of living.



It is in this spirit of mutual commitment to excellence that we are asking our community to join us in our efforts to:



1. Raise the minimum wage at our hospitals,

2. Remove the caps on the wages of our most experienced healthcare workers so we can attract and retain the most skilled and talented employees in our communities,

3. Provide wage increases that meet the rising cost of living and offer us more secure futures.



We believe delivering quality care to patients while providing a safe, respectful and rewarding environment for employees is what will catapult our HCA-affiliated hospitals to becoming a pioneer in the changing health care industry:
