Corpus Christi Medical Center, an HCA Healthcare-affiliated hospital, has been doing everything in our

power to protect our colleagues and patient care teams throughout the pandemic and equip them to
provide safe, effective care to our patients by following or exceeding CDC protocols. We have provided
appropriate PPE, including a universal masking policy requiring all staff in all areas to wear masks in line
with CDC guidance. While we currently have adequate supplies of PPE, we continue to provide
safeguards that are consistent with CDC guidelines and help ensure the protection of our colleagues, not
only today, but into the future as the pandemic evolves. The SEIU fails to recognize the reality all
hospitals nationwide are facing, that this pandemic has strained the worldwide supply of personal
protective equipment (PPE), including masks, face shields, and gowns. This is especially surprising since
the SEIU itself fell victim to an alleged N95 manufacturing scam that is now part of a U.S. Justice
Department investigation. https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/14/us/coronavirus-mask-scam-hospitals-

Similar to other healthcare providers, the spread of COVID-19 has had a tremendous impact on Corpus
Christi Medical Center, simultaneously reducing revenues and increasing expenses. The CARES Act
funding HCA Healthcare hospitals have received to date represents only a portion of our anticipated lost
revenue and increased expenses resulting from the pandemic. To provide even more perspective, HCA
Healthcare’s 180 U.S. hospitals provide about 5 percent of all inpatient hospital services in the country
while we have received less than 2 percent of the CARES Act provider relief funds distributed to date.
