“A strong, statewide brand will help create a cohesive experience for our patients, physicians and communities.

HCA Florida Healthcare is a purpose-driven brand that will elevate how we serve our communities by further leveraging our collective strength.”

All HCA Healthcare-owned hospitals, free-standing emergency rooms and physician practices in Tallahassee and the organization’s East and West Florida divisions will officially adopt the new brand, starting in September. All facilities will unveil new names, signage and websites to their communities at that time. The remaining facilities, including those in the Panhandle, Jacksonville, Orlando and North Central Florida, will be updated in 2022.
