May 28, 2026- HCA Healthcare, Inc. and The College of Health Care Professions (CHCP), one of the largest allied healthcare training providers in Texas, announced an agreement for HCA Healthcare to acquire ownership of CHCP. CHCP provides healthcare education to more than 8,000 students annually across 10 campuses throughout Texas and online.
This agreement reflects a shared commitment to student success, academic quality and workforce readiness between the organizations that have a history of working together. For decades, HCA Healthcare and CHCP have been partnering through program advisory boards, clinical sites and career placement.
In 2023, HCA Healthcare collaborated with CHCP on a 12-week Medical Assistant training program aimed at upskilling colleagues and building a talent pipeline for HCA Healthcare’s urgent care centers across Texas. Since its launch, over 100 colleagues have successfully graduated from the program and increased their career opportunities within HCA Healthcare. As a part of HCA Healthcare, CHCP will continue to educate, support and empower students to succeed in healthcare careers. Eric Bing will continue to lead CHCP as Chancellor and CEO.
