$50,000 to CreatiVets, an organization dedicated to empowering veterans and their families to find healing from service-related trauma through art, to help increase the number of veteran and family participants in their national wellness through fine arts program; and

$50,000 to The Honor Foundation, a career transition program for U.S. Special Operations Forces, to help enhance their industry “trek” experiences to various companies for program fellows in eight states and four virtual cohorts.

“Our veterans exemplify resilience, leadership and a deep commitment to service – qualities that enrich our organization,” said Sherri Crowley, chief culture and values officer at HCA Healthcare. “We are proud to honor their service, today and every day, and remain dedicated to fostering a workplace that recognizes and uplifts the strengths of our military-connected colleagues.”
