ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This document is in two parts. The first part is this prospectus supplement, which describes the terms of the offering of the notes and adds to and
supplements information contained in the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference therein. The second part is the
accompanying prospectus, which we refer to as the "accompanying prospectus." The accompanying prospectus contains a description of our debt securities
and gives more general information, some of which may not apply to the notes. The accompanying prospectus also incorporates by reference documents
that are described under "Incorporation by Reference" in that prospectus.
You should rely only on the information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, in the accompanying prospectus or in
any free writing prospectus filed by us with the SEC. If information in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus, you
should rely on this prospectus supplement. We have not, and the underwriters have not, authorized any other person to provide you with different
information. If anyone provides you with different or inconsistent information, you should not rely on it. You should not assume that the information
contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus or in any such free writing prospectus is accurate as
of any date other than the respective dates thereof. Our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may have changed since those
dates.
We are not, and the underwriters are not, making an offer of the notes in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted.
MARKET, RANKING AND OTHER INDUSTRY DATA
The data included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus regarding markets and ranking,
including the size of certain markets and our position and the position of our competitors within these markets, are based on reports of government agencies
or published industry sources and estimates based on management's knowledge and experience in the markets in which we operate. These estimates have
been based on information obtained from our trade and business organizations and other contacts in the markets in which we operate. We believe these
estimates to be accurate as of the date of this prospectus supplement. However, this information may prove to be inaccurate because of the method by
which we obtained some of the data for the estimates or because this information cannot always be verified with complete certainty due to the limits on the
availability and reliability of raw data, the voluntary nature of the data gathering process and other limitations and uncertainties. As a result, you should be
aware that market, ranking and other similar industry data included or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus, and estimates and beliefs based on that data, may not be reliable. Neither we nor the underwriters can guarantee the accuracy or completeness
of any such information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus.
FORWARD-LOOKING AND CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain and incorporate by reference "forward-looking statements" within the meaning
of the federal securities laws, which involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include statements regarding expected share-based
compensation expense, expected capital expenditures and expected net claim payments and all other statements that do not relate solely to historical or
current facts, and can be identified by the use of words like "may," "believe," "will," "expect," "project," "estimate," "anticipate," "plan," "initiative" or

Our Company
We are the largest non-governmental hospital operator in the United States and a leading comprehensive, integrated provider of health care and
related services. We provide these services through a network of acute care hospitals, outpatient facilities, clinics and other patient care delivery
settings. As of September 30, 2018, we operated a diversified portfolio of 179 hospitals (with approximately 47,100 beds) and 122 freestanding
surgery centers across 20 states throughout the United States and in England. As a result of our growth agenda, we have the first or second market
share in many of our markets. Our portfolio consists of many large and growing urban markets with attractive demographic and economic profiles.
We currently maintain a presence in 16 of the top 25 markets with the strongest Economic Health Index in the United States, based on the American
City Business Journal's 2017 Economic Health Index, a ranking of the relative economic viability of the top 100 market statistical areas in the United
States. We believe our ability to successfully position and grow our assets in attractive markets and execute our operating plan has contributed to the
strength of our financial performance over the last several years. For the year ended December 31, 2017, we generated revenues of $43.614 billion,
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/860730/000119312519013497/d687480d424b5.htm[1/22/2019 10:52:51 AM]

Form 424(b)(5)
net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. of $2.216 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $8.233 billion. For the nine months ended September 30,
2018, we generated revenues of $34.403 billion, net income attributable to HCA Healthcare, Inc. of $2.723 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of
$6.441 billion.
Our patient-first strategy is to provide high quality health care services in a cost-efficient manner. We intend to build upon our history of
profitable growth by maintaining our dedication to quality care, increasing our presence in key markets through organic expansion and strategic
acquisitions and joint ventures, leveraging our scale and infrastructure, and further developing our physician and employee relationships. We believe
pursuing these core elements of our strategy helps us develop a faster- growing, more stable and more profitable business and increases our relevance
to patients, physicians, payers and employers.
Using our scale, significant resources and 50 years of operating experience, we have developed a significant management and support
infrastructure. Some of the key components of our support infrastructure include a revenue cycle management organization, a health care group
purchasing organization ("GPO"), an information technology and services provider, a nurse staffing agency and a medical malpractice insurance
company. These shared services have helped us to maximize our cash collection efficiency, achieve savings in purchasing through our scale, more
rapidly deploy information technology upgrades, more effectively manage our labor pool and achieve greater stability in malpractice insurance
premiums. Collectively, these components have helped us to further enhance our operating effectiveness, cost efficiency and overall financial results.
Our Parallon subsidiary group also offers certain of these component services to other health care organizations.

indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and

of secured indebtedness; and

· we had $1.982 billion of unutilized capacity under the senior secured revolving credit
facility and $400 million of unutilized capacity under the asset-based revolving credit

facility, after giving effect to letters of credit and borrowing base limitations, all of which
would be structurally senior to the notes offered hereby if borrowed.

As of September 30, 2018, on an as adjusted basis after giving effect to the notes offered
hereby and the use of proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of Proceeds," the notes

and related guarantee would have been structurally subordinated to $21.518 billion of
indebtedness of the Issuer's subsidiaries, all of which was secured.

Form 424(b)(5)
These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. See

"Description of the Notes."

Optional Redemption
The Issuer may redeem each series of notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in
part, at the redemption prices described in this prospectus supplement. See "Description of
the Notes--Optional Redemption."

Change of Control Offer
Upon the occurrence of a change of control, you will have the right, as holders of the notes,
to require the Issuer to repurchase some or all of your notes at 101% of their face amount,
plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date. See "Description of the Notes--
Repurchase at the Option of Holders--Change of Control."

The Issuer may not be able to pay you the required price for notes you present to it at the

time of a change of control, because:

· the Issuer may not have enough funds at that time; or

· the terms of our indebtedness under the senior secured credit facilities may prevent it from

making such payment.

Your right to require the Issuer to repurchase the notes upon the occurrence of a change of
control will cease to apply to the notes at all times during which such notes have investment

grade ratings from both Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's. See
"Description of the Notes--Certain Covenants--Covenant Suspension."

No Public Market
The 2029 notes will be new securities for which there is currently no market and the new
2028 notes will be part of an existing series of securities for which there is currently no
public market. Although the underwriters have informed the Issuer that they intend to make a
market in the notes, they are not obligated to do so, and they may discontinue market making
activities at any time without notice. Accordingly, the Issuer cannot assure you that a liquid
market for the notes will develop or be maintained.

Use of Proceeds
We estimate that our net proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriter discounts
and commissions and estimated offering expenses, will be approximately $1.478 billion.

We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, which may

include acquisitions. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Capitalization."

banking and other services for us for which they received or will receive customary fees and
expenses. See "Underwriting."
