Deserves Better Healthcare

Together, we can restore best-in-class care throughout
Mission Health.

We are RECLAIM HEALTHCARE WNC, a volunteer-led grassroots coalition of physicians, nurses, elected officials, clergy, attorneys, business leaders, and community representatives who are organizing and engaging in a campaign to:

  • Replace Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) with a non-profit owner committed to meeting the healthcare needs of the people of WNC

  • Hold HCA accountable for their harmful culture and practices

  • Restore best-in-class care throughout Mission Health

We are committed to demonstrating unwavering support for staff at Mission Health, and holding HCA accountable through the empowerment of our community. We are prepared for a sustained campaign.
