Departments from across HCA joined in the fun, including Behavioral Health, Ambulatory Care, VCMC and Santa Paula Hospital, Public Health, Health Care Plan, HCA Administration, the CEO’s Office, the Board of Supervisors, and many more.

Teams brought incredible creativity, with some embracing this year’s Polar Express theme and others designing trees inspired by their own programs and services.

All of this holiday spirit has one purpose: helping feed our Ventura County neighbors. Through donated canned goods and sponsored trees, we are spreading joy and supporting families this season. 💙🌲✨

Todo este espíritu navideño tiene un solo propósito: ayudar a alimentar a nuestros vecinos del Condado de Ventura. Con donaciones de alimentos enlatados y árboles patrocinados, estamos compartiendo alegría y apoyando a las familias esta temporada. 💙🌲✨
