Happy National Healthcare Recruiter Recognition Day! In 1991, Congress declared the first Tuesday in June to be National Healthcare Recruiter Recognition Day — celebrated on Tuesday, June 1st this year.

HealthTrust Workforce Solutions is thankful for the incredible dedication and hard work demonstrated by all of our talented healthcare recruiters who work diligently to find the best clinicians and interim leaders for healthcare facilities across the nation. Through the perseverance of our healthcare recruiters, especially throughout COVID-19, HealthTrust Workforce Solutions has been able to effectively enhance patient care.

We are proud of the pivotal role that recruitment plays within our organization. Each of our recruiters dedicates their time, energy, and passion to finding incredible clinicians and ensuring that each clinician feels like a part of the HealthTrust family. Our recruiters and our entire team make a meaningful impact as they work toward improving the lives of more patients in more ways across the country.

We thank our recruiters for choosing to represent HealthTrust and the entire HCA Healthcare enterprise, where we are connected to something bigger than ourselves, where we care like family, where your recruitment efforts unlock endless possibilities for clinicians and where we raise the bar higher throughout the healthcare industry.

Hi Everyone, 

Each Memorial Day we pay tribute to the veterans who have given their life as an ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our American values and the security of our nation. We are thankful for those who have given their lives to protect our hard-fought freedom. We stand in continued partnership with the United Way’s MISSION UNITED initiative and with our military families in remembrance of the fallen as we share our gratitude for their significant sacrifice. Their impact will never be forgotten.

Due to the increase use of vaccinations, we are grateful that more people can gather with family and friends to honor Memorial Day.

On behalf of HealthTrust, we thank every fallen hero, our living veterans and their families. 

Have a happy and safe Memorial Day weekend.

All facilities in the EFD will be transitioning to using Plain Language to announce emergency codes/alerts – Medical, Security, & Facility.  We are converting to this format of announcing our codes to improve the safety and responsiveness of all within our facilities – our patients, visitors, and staff. We are not changing how the staff calls codes, what will change is how the operator announces codes. 

Please review the attached huddle card and ensure you are aware of the Emergency alert process for your facility.

Thank you for your attention to PATIENT SAFETY!

We are thankful for the countless nurses that have provided exceptional patient care to patients across the country throughout COVID-19. Although the pandemic created hardships for both patients and nurses, we are grateful for the dedication that nurses have exhibited towards enhancing patient care. Below, we share one nurses' experience of coping with the stress of COVID-19, the lessons that she learned and the support that she felt along the way.

Melissa L., ICU R.N., is thankful for the support of HealthTrust Workforce Solutions and HCA Healthcare throughout COVID-19. Although Melissa was afraid at the start of the pandemic, Melissa was comforted as HealthTrust and HCA Healthcare provided exceptional resources and proper PPE. Melissa’s compassion for her patients grew throughout her time treating COVID-19 patients during the pandemic. She truly learned the importance of spending quality time with her patients and making every encounter meaningful, which led to a deeper appreciation for her role as a nurse.

Aside from the positive support from HealthTrust Workforce Solutions and HCA Healthcare, Melissa is thankful for how every nurse leaned on one another and provided support to each other during COVID-19. Melissa’s advice to new nurses is to put all of their fears aside and to know that they are going to make a difference in the lives of many patients, who will ultimately make a difference in their life as well.
