"With this third finding of Immediate Jeopardy, we are at an inflection point. The pattern we now see clearly is this: after being sanctioned by regulators, HCA surges resources to the hospital for a period of time to have an Immediate Jeopardy status lifted.

Staff retention, especially of experienced nurses, is key to making the improvements permanent."

Immediate jeopardy is the most severe sanction that federal government can take against a hospital. This is third since HCA purchased Mission in 2019.
