Awards of Distinction Recipient – Max Fransen

The HCA Healthcare Awards of Distinction—comprising the Frist Humanitarian Award and the Excellence in Nursing Award—are the highest honors HCA Healthcare bestows on employees, physicians and volunteers, recognizing the extraordinary individuals who exemplify the organization’s culture and values. One of the highlights of the ceremony are the video bios that introduce each recipient and show why they’re deserving of this honor.

Each year we look for new ways to tell the stories of these remarkable employees. Colleague interviews usually drive these stories, bur for the portrait focused on Excellence in Nursing – Compassionate Care recipient Max Fransen, we included the father of a former patient of Max’s. His remarks provided a unique look at the power of compassion and are a testament to Max’s spirit and the care he provides to each patient and their families.
