Who We Are

Our purpose is simple.

We serve and enable those who care for and improve human life in their communities.

Industry expertise and service excellence

We know shared services management is a critical piece of both operations and patient experience. That’s why we bring compassion and commitment alongside the expertise we’ve gained as operators to drive measurable results for our stakeholders.

We are known for delivering excellent results. We are trusted because we have the reputation for doing what our stakeholders need and doing it well.

— Shannon Dauchot, President and CEO, Parallon

Caring like family

Parallon’s deep roots in hospital operations allow us to better understand the needs of our stakeholders and patients.

Beginning in 2000 as one of the key components of HCA Healthcare’s shared services strategy, Parallon became the revenue cycle industry leader by continuously pursuing best practices and technology advancements. Today, Parallon’s scope extends well beyond the revenue cycle to include contact center, administrative and select clinical shared services.

We believe organizations that continuously learn and improve will thrive. With a relentless focus on what’s next for our stakeholders and the industry, we are passionate about our efforts to power the missions of all the entities we serve.
