Holy Cross Hospital, Inc. (HCH) is pleased to announce the availability of $10,000 for Food Security Programs in Broward County. This funding is in honor of former hospital Chief Executive Officer and President Emeritus, John C.

HCH will serve as the lead agency in the awarding of these funds, with the guidance of a HCH Food Security Program Advisory Review Committee comprised of representatives from multiple hospital departments and a representative from the J.
