When HCA Healthcare acquired Galen in 2020, the future of nursing education made a significant leap forward. This powerful union joined one of the largest educators of nurses with one of the nation’s leading healthcare providers. Together, they are addressing the critical industry-wide shortage by increasing the pipeline of future nurses and expanding educational opportunities, fundamental to quality care across the country.
HCA Healthcare and Galen College of Nursing are continually focused on how to advance nursing education so that graduates can deliver care at the highest level of their capability – confident, compassionate, and prepared for practice.
As part of the HCA Healthcare family, Galen offers graduates unique access to a wide range of employment opportunities, nursing development and education to existing HCA Healthcare nurses, to enjoy a career of a lifetime.
As part of HCA Healthcare, our students are connected to something bigger, which means more resources, more solutions, and more possibilities. We work together to address industrywide nursing challenges and advance high-quality care, supporting the promise of improving more lives in more ways.
HCA Healthcare is a collaborative healthcare network comprised of approximately 2,300 sites of care across the U.S. and the U.K. Our partnership enables us to unlock numerous opportunities for Galen graduates to learn, grow, and enjoy a rewarding career.
HCA Healthcare is a learning health system that utilizes data from more than 37 million annual patient encounters to inform best practices, develop new technologies, and improve patient care. Those insights are shared across HCA Healthcare’s network of care, including Galen College of Nursing, where students can be part of a lifetime of learning from nursing education to practice.
