Hospital Corporation of America (HCA) was founded in 1968 by Dr. Thomas Frist, Sr., Dr. Thomas Frist, Jr., and Jack Massey in Nashville, Tennessee.  They were among the very first hospital companies in the United Sates.  HCA is composed of services that are locally managed, which comprises of over 150 hospitals and 100 freestanding surgery centers located in 20 states and also in the United Kingdom.  The very first hospital that HCA owned was the Park View Hospital near downtown Nashville.  Their small group of founders were working out of a small house near the Park View during the first few years of operation.  As HCA grew, the small house that they were working in was no longer large enough.  In 1972, new offices were built behind Nashville’s Centennial Park.
