The Healthcare and Medical Innovation Division of the U.S. Minority Contractors Association (USMCA) was established on February 1, 2021, to advance minority participation and leadership in the rapidly evolving healthcare and medical sectors. This division focuses on fostering innovation, collaboration, and equitable access to opportunities within healthcare infrastructure, medical technology, and life sciences industries. Through strategic partnerships, workforce development, and advocacy, the division empowers minority-owned businesses to contribute to cutting-edge healthcare solutions and national health initiatives. Its mission aligns with USMCA’s broader commitment to promoting diversity, economic growth, and sustainable development across all sectors of the U.S. economy.
Our Mission
The mission of the Healthcare Medical Innovation Division (HCMI) of the U.S. Minority Contractors Association is to expand equitable access, capacity, and leadership for Small Disadvantaged contractors and firms within the healthcare and hospital construction sector. Building structured workforce development and tiered contractor advancement, HCMI prepares firms to safely, compliantly, and competitively deliver healthcare infrastructure that supports patient care, medical innovation, and community health outcomes.
Healthcare construction is one of the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. construction market, representing over $60 billion annually, driven by aging facilities, population growth, and increased demand for outpatient, hospital, and specialty care environments. HCMI exists to ensure minority contractors are positioned to participate in—and lead—this critical sector.
Our Vision
HCMI envisions a future where Small Disadvantaged businesses are fully integrated across every level of healthcare and hospital construction, from support facilities and medical offices to acute-care hospitals and advanced treatment centers.
As healthcare systems nationwide invest in modernization, infection control upgrades, and resilient infrastructure, HCMI seeks to create a sustainable pipeline of qualified minority contractors capable of meeting stringent healthcare standards while delivering high-quality, patient-centered environments. With hospitals accounting for nearly 40% of all healthcare capital construction spending, HCMI’s vision is one where diversity, safety, and innovation are embedded in every phase of healthcare development.
