Watchdog Group Appointed for HCA

Dogwood Trust, which was created from the sale of Mission Health to HCA has selected an independent watchdog group. Gibbins Advisors is charged with ensuring HCA is committed to providing quality health care throughout the area. Gibbins is based out of New York State. Attorney General Josh Stein’s office signed off on the deal.

According to Stein, for Gibbons to be successful, they must take the time to engage with communities in Western North Carolina. Gibbons is expected to have town meetings and other opportunities to hear directly from the people who are impacted by HCA’s health care decisions.
