Hospital Corporation of America. Cancer Center ^{R&D Centre}

Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) was founded in 1968 in Nashville, Tennessee, by Dr. Thomas F. Frist Sr., Dr. Thomas F. Frist Jr. and Jack C. Massey.[8] The founders envisioned a company that would bring together hospitals to deliver patient-focused care while using the combined resources of the organization to strengthen hospitals and improve the practice of medicine.[9] The company began with Nashville's Park View Hospital, which the elder Frist had founded in 1960 with other doctors and where he was serving as chief executive.[9]
