NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp. said today it will repurchase up to $1 billion of the company's outstanding common shares.
The Nashville-based company said it has completed the buyback of about $3 billion in shares since 1997 and currently has about 563 million shares outstanding.
