HCA Florida Capital Hospital, a part of HCA Florida Healthcare, has appointed Nichole Urban, as Associate Chief Nursing Officer. Urban will provide executive leadership for nursing initiatives.
“I look forward to being part of the HCA Florida Capital Hospital team, working collaboratively with the staff to meet the needs of our patients and becoming actively involved in the community,” said Urban. “HCA Florida Capital Hospital is expanding healthcare services and continues to be a community healthcare partner in Tallahassee and the surrounding communities.”
Nichole is from Denver, CO and played Division I Softball at the University of Georgia. She began her career with HCA Healthcare at Swedish Medical Center on the neuro/telemetry unit in 2011. Nichole then transitioned to Riverside Community Hospital as the Medical ICU Manager and completed the HCA Director Development Program and was promoted to Critical Care Director.
While at Riverside, Urban was instrumental in developing and growing the critical care service line.
