The City of Brevard is the latest to announce a lawsuit against HCA Healthcare, the Nashville-based corporation that bought the nonprofit Mission Health System in 2019. A press release issued by the City of Brevard says the lawsuit further alleges that HCA’s actions have also harmed Brevard and its community by “making changes to charity care, performing and billing for unnecessary procedures, causing the loss of experienced and highly qualified physicians and other health care providers from the HCA system and reducing the availability of appointments for health care services.”

MissOne of the emergency rooms will be near the corner of Hendersonville Road (US 25) and Airport Road in South Asheville and the other will be west of Asheville near Candler.
