"But nurses at Mission say that Zenker’s termination, along with the recent suspensions of two other nurses, appears to be less about discipline, and more about sending a message."

The stickers are hard to miss. Pinned to the scrubs of nurses at Mission Hospital is the smiling face of one of their own: Molly Zenker. The “sticker up action” began Sunday after Zenker, who has worked at Mission since 2017, was suspended. On Thursday, just hours before a nurses’ rally in f...

A new op-ed from Senator Mayfield about HCA/Mission.

Mission Hospital, owned by HCA, faces its fourth 'Immediate Jeopardy' finding in five years from CMS due to patient harm and deaths.

02/12/2026

"In a statement to Asheville Watchdog far in advance of the foundation’s official annual report to the attorney general, typically in the summer, Rachel Ryan, Dogwood’s General Counsel, said Dogwood considers Mission Hospital’s multiple immediate jeopardy sanctions to be “a matter of noncompliance” with the contract."

The Dogwood Health Trust — the foundation responsible for enforcing HCA Healthcare’s compliance with the terms of its 2019 purchase of nonprofit Mission Health — has accelerated its oversight schedule in the wake of Mission Hospital’s latest violations of federal safety standards. In a sta...

“We anticipated that the findings from CMS would be based on problems with the discharge process,” said Mayfield (D-Buncombe County). “So, we were surprised when the CMS statement of deficiencies mentioned not one word about the discharge process. We have heard of numerous patients for instance who need oxygen, being discharged without oxygen.”

Concerned citizens and State Senator Julie Mayfield are calling on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) to look into patient discharge concerns.

From the article:

At least four times since the sale — 2021, 2024, 2025, and now 2026 — inspectors from the state and federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have concluded that HCA/Mission’s noncompliance with federal health and safety regulations “has placed the health and safety of recipients in its care at risk for serious injury, serious harm, serious impairment, or death.”

HCA Healthcare took control of Asheville’s nonprofit Mission Hospital seven years ago, on Feb. 1, 2019, but Groundhog Day seems the more appropriate anniversary. As in the 1993 film, the people of western North Carolina are trapped in a time loop. They’re forced to revisit the same hospital fail...

"This is the third immediate jeopardy designation from The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in two years, which identifies issues that endanger patient safety."

News 13 has confirmed Mission Hospital in Asheville has been placed in immediate jeopardy again.

01/30/2026

"The letter, obtained Friday by Asheville Watchdog, said the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services had notified the hospital that it had been placed in immediate jeopardy. The finding, which means that deficiencies at the hospital endanger patients’ lives and safety, is one of the most serious sanctions a hospital can face. Including a 2021 determination, it is the fourth time CMS has placed Mission in immediate jeopardy since HCA Healthcare bought the nonprofit Mission Health system in 2019."

For the third time in less than two years, Mission Hospital faces sanctions that could result in it losing crucial federal funding, CEO Greg Lowe told employees in a letter Thursday night. The letter, obtained Friday by Asheville Watchdog, said the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services had noti...

"HCA’s continued growth push — in North Carolina and beyond — is increasingly met with resistance from nonprofit competitors seeking to shape the future of care delivery in the markets in which they operate."

HCA faces mounting opposition as health systems in Tennessee and Virginia challenge its new ER and surgery center plans.

"Dr. Martin Palmeri, an oncologist at Messino Cancer Centers, already had grave concerns about the quality of care under HCA Healthcare’s ownership when he received a call about a patient."
