At Holy Cross Hospital, patient feedback plays a vital role in improving care for our community. By reviewing patient experience data each month, hospital leaders identify what is working and where changes can make a difference. Recently, Holy Cross Hospital reported strong improvement across all ten inpatient experience measures in September and October, with scores exceeding state benchmarks.

Holy Cross Medical Center came together in a big way this holiday season through our annual CAV Angel Tree program. Thanks to the generosity of our employees, more than 70 gifts were donated to CAV to be distributed to local children in need.

From bikes and beds to toys and everyday essentials, our team helped brighten the season for families across our community. The generosity was so overwhelming that gifts were overflowing from PBX, and it truly took a small army to help move and organize everything.

A special thank you to Anna Fresquez and Felicia Bustos for coordinating this incredible effort and helping make it all come together.

From our family to yours, happy holidays. Stay safe and enjoy your time with family and friends.
