Anyone know anything about this company. I heard some bad stuff about them. They are hiring for a few hospital based pathologist jobs.
HCA Healthcare Florida
- Thread starter MetroPath
- Start date
When HCA takes over a hospital, the pathologists are fired or can work for much less money and have minimal autonomy.
HCA is then "hiring".
Now CAP comes along and claims that there are groups "hiring pathologists" and write a paper about it.
Idiots!

Why not sue HCA if they do this. Tie them up in litigation and then force them to buy your practice out.
Then go to Cuba and drink rum for rest of your life.
I wish HCA came to my town...I want to sit on the beach and drink rum, listen to the waves crash. Give ZFs.

How can this be when the job market outlook and pathology income outlook are so rosy ?????????????????????????????????
What would you sue them over? When my last hospital was acquired, the new administration just waited until our contract was up for renewal and then didn't renew it.

If you don't mind me asking, how long was your contract?
I believe it renewed every three years, unless one party gave notice at least 90 days before the renewal date.
Do you know if the same is true for other specialties? I know several oncologists and radiologists that work for a local HCA hospital (not in Florida) and they say they are paid similarly to other non-HCA colleagues.

I was once told by the Sr. partner who hired me back in the 80’s fresh out of the navy that
a pathology contract is only “good” until the next hospital board meeting. More than a little truth in that.

So true!

Funny thing is HCA was started by a physician right? Maybe he never liked pathology in medical school or something.
Honestly, if no one worked for them then how would they operate?
The biggest problem we have is mass willingness of some of us to drop to your knees and begin unzipping any dress slacks that walk into your office.

Based on pathologists I have talked to, the standard package for HCA employed pathologist is 250-275K with 4 weeks vacation. When HCA fires the private group at a hospital, it appears that they typically hire less pathologists than the private group used to staff the hospital.

A relative of mine used to work on the finance side of their lab division IRL (integrated regional laboratories). Not a good company. Used to be run by Rick Scott, who oversaw what is (or used to be?) the largest medicare fraud in history - Gov. Rick Scott took responsibility? No, he took $300 million | Randy Schultz
Not sure how much has changed.

What did you do after your contract wasn't renewed? What did your former hospital do for pathology staffing? Was there an interruption in service?
