Over more than three decades, Hall has been influential in many successful initiatives that will benefit the company for years to come, including expansion of HCA Healthcare’s graduate medical education programs and implementation of the company’s initial patient navigation program, as well as playing a significant role in HCA Healthcare becoming the largest trauma and largest burn services provider in the United States.
