COVID cases are up across the nation and the need for quality patient care has never been greater. This is a critical time for many communities and for many of our hospitals. 

While 2020 will likely be associated with a global public health crisis, we’ll also be reminded of the many ways our HealthTrust Workforce Solutions and HCA Healthcare family banded together to take care of our communities and each other.

Thank you for being a part of HealthTrust Workforce Solutions and HCA Healthcare and for making a profound difference to those we serve.  You continue to rise up with resilience to meet the challenges brought on by this pandemic. Your unwavering commitment to our patients and your support for each other is inspirational and much appreciated.   On behalf of the entire HealthTrust Workforce Solutions leadership team, we thank you for continuing to provide quality, patient care on the frontlines in the fight against COVID. Together we can overcome this monumental challenge. 

What we’re made of is incredible people. People like Stephanie Aguirre, a relief charge nurse that cares for HCA Healthcare patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) at Mercy Hospital in Miami, Fla.

Stephanie reflects on working the frontlines of #COVID19: “I always feel proud for trying my absolute best during times of uncertainty. Alongside my amazing team, I am able to take care of patients who are intubated, in septic shock and/or on multiple medications. After days of working hard, you get to see them recuperate and get transferred out of intensive care. I feel a huge sense of gratitude knowing that I have made a difference in someone’s life. Through this experience I have learned no matter the roadblock that’s put in front of me, I have the strength and perseverance to keep pushing forward. Giving up is never an option.”

Thank you to Stephanie, and all our front line heroes, for your unwavering dedication to provide lifesaving care in times of need. You are true heroes.
