Deserves Better Healthcare
Reclaiming Our Right to Quality Healthcare
We are RECLAIM HEALTHCARE WNC, a coalition of physicians, nurses, elected officials, clergy, attorneys, business leaders, and community members. We are committed to unwavering support for staff at Mission Health and holding HCA accountable through the empowerment of our community.
Vision statement: WNC residents can trust that they will receive quality care at Mission Hospital.
Reclaim Healthcare WNC has two goals:
Holding HCA leadership accountable to provide consistently excellent patient care and patient experiences. While many patients receive excellent care and have positive experiences at Mission, thanks to the dedicated staff, it is also true that patient care and experiences are inconsistent. We shine a continuous spotlight on these issues in order to drive change.
Empowering WNC residents to be their own best healthcare advocates. We want to build an army of advocates who know what to expect and demand when they or a loved one are in the hospital.
Defining the Problem
Since HCA purchased Mission Health in 2019, more than 200 physicians and 600 nurses have left Mission Health.
Positions vacated.
Reduced from 6.1 FTE
There has been a reduction in the ratio of full-time staff per patient bed from 6.1 FTE to 3.7 FTE. The average in North Carolina is 5.1 FTE.
Mission Health has been repeatedly investigated by NC Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) for concerns related to patient safety and quality of care.
