On August 28, 2026, Samuel Hazen, CEO of HCA Healthcare, participated in a forum hosted by the Western North Carolina Health Policy Initiative at UNC Asheville, alongside Mission Hospital CEO Greg Lowe. During the discussion, Hazen addressed regional healthcare challenges, including workforce development and access to care. He described HCA’s investments in workforce initiatives, such as the expansion of Galen College of Nursing, which he said aims to have 30 campuses and 30,000 students by 2029. Hazen also discussed the impact of federal policy changes, stating that the expiration of enhanced premium tax credits has contributed to a significant increase in the uninsured population, and he reiterated HCA’s position that coverage is foundational to health access and affordability. Hazen also responded to a referenced report suggesting Mission Hospital is the most profitable hospital in the HCA system. He said he had not seen the report and questioned the professor’s access to HCA data, asserting that Mission’s profitability is reasonable and tied to its size and volume, and that it was profitable before HCA’s acquisition. He further addressed criticism of HCA’s priorities, stating that the company holds itself to a higher standard than the rest of the industry and that profitability and patient care are harmonious, allowing for investment and opportunities for employees.
