Parkland Medical Centers Parent Company HCA Gives $1 Million in Aid for Ebola Response to CDC Foundation The $1 million cash donation by HCA to the CDC Foundation to help support international Ebola epidemic response efforts involving the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and their work with partners on the ground in West Africa was announced today. Ebola continues to spread rapidly in West Africa, and CDC and others have made it clear that the window of opportunity to contain the virus is closing quickly, said R. Milton Johnson, President and CEO of HCA. The CDC is working with donors like HCA to provide much needed supplies and equipment. Items include personal protective equipment, infection control tools, ready to eat meals, generators, motorcycles, hiring of locally employed staff, exit screening tools and supplies at airports such as thermal scanners to detect fever.
