How We’re Achieving our Goals

“The nurses at Mission are not fooled by the paltry efforts HCA has done to remove the hospital from immediate jeopardy, but I promise the nurses at Mission will not stop fighting for this community. We will NOT lie down. We will not be bullied. We will continue to advocate for the health and well-being of the people.” — Molly Zenker, Nurse at Mission Health

  • We collect and report patient and provider experiences regarding quality of care issues to regulatory agencies, including: the NC Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Joint Commission of Hospital Accreditation, the NC Attorney General’s Office, and Dogwood Health Trust's Independent Monitor.

  • We represent the concerns and voices of individuals and organizations in our communities. We work with local and national media to accurately report on the issues. We inform the public through forums, press conferences, digital media, and outreach to local and national media outlets.

  • We are in regular communication with state and federal authorities, including state legislators, to identify options that would drive improvements in the quality of care and of the workplace at Mission.

  • Our supporters have submitted comments and spoken at hearings where state officials are expanding hospital and emergency department beds in the region.  Our focus is on increasing competition rather than granting any new capacity to HCA.

  • Although it seems contradictory, we encourage people to purchase at least one share of HCA stock in order to be able to participate in the annual shareholder meeting and make our voices heard there.

    Please let us know if you are a shareholder, and we will tell you how you can help!
