Matt Alligood
When Hurricane Helene hit North Carolina, Matt Alligood was working at the hospital where he would remain for the next several days caring for patients and colleagues as they navigated the aftermath of the storm.
During this time, his family was at home unable to leave due to trees that had fallen on their home. Upon hearing about Matt's situation, his HCA Healthcare colleagues sprang into action. To his surprise, when he arrived home a team had been contacted and was already clearing the trees and debris. After the trees were removed, his fellow colleagues shared breakfast with the Alligood family. Matt shared, “Words will never do this act of kindness justice.”
The support didn’t stop there. Hundreds of HCA Healthcare nurses from across the country showed up at Mission Hospital to assist our caregivers. Matt expressed, “They showed up with a smile on their face, eager to help, eager to give us just a little bit of reprieve. It’s been amazing.”
