WELCOME TO THE OFFICIAL INDEPENDENT MONITOR SITE

As part of HCA’s acquisition of Mission Health System in January 2019, the contract required HCA to make certain commitments to ensure the people of Western North Carolina continued to have access to high quality health care.

​

Our role as Independent Monitor is to help determine on an ongoing basis if HCA, as required in its agreement, executes its commitments which include, but are not limited to: keeping major Mission Health facilities open, continuing to provide certain key services, continuing policies for uninsured and charity care, and making significant capital investment in promised projects and programs.

​

As Independent Monitor, we will review HCA’s annual reports and evaluate HCA’s compliance with its ongoing commitments under the purchase agreement by various forms of monitoring including site visits, discussions with HCA managers and receiving comments and input from the public. We will advise Dogwood Health Trust and six advisory boards on HCA’s compliance, and will share responsibility with local advisory boards to evaluate requests to modify HCA’s commitments to local hospitals in certain limited circumstances.
