HCA Jobs

By   |  Dated: 10-04-2010

Hospital Corporation of America, the largest for profit chain of hospitals in the world, was founded in 1968. Former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist made most of his personal fortune from stock ownership in the company, which he sold in 2005 two weeks before a disappointing earnings report caused the stock to lose 9 points.

Two other members of the Frist family were among the founders of the corporation and became multi-billionaires as a result. Today HCA operates 273 sites in 20 US states plus London, England.

HCA has suffered through some controversies in the last ten years including a pair of settlements for Medicaid and Medicare fraud that totaled a little over $1.7 Billion. As a result of the settlements, then CEO Rick Scott was ousted but did not face criminal prosecution. Scott went on to spearhead a group called Conservatives for Patients' Rights in 2009, which was the largest lobbying group by membership opposing health care reform. In 2005, when Senator Frist sold his shares of HCA, several other executives sold their stock at the same time. When the stock price collapsed two weeks later, shareholders sued and won a $20 million settlement.




HCA employs approximately 180,000 people in the health care industry. With career fields as diverse as human resources and nursing, information technology and surgeon, there's a little something for everyone at HCA. Paging through the 4,740 open HCA jobs currently on Hound shows a selection of career paths as diverse as it gets. Because Hound never charges employers money to list job openings, we can bring you every current open position a company has. Compare it to sites that charge stiff fees for each job listed like monster.com and it's no surprise that monster lists a paltry 113 HCA jobs currently.
