January 19, 2026
Fort Lauderdale, Florida (January 20, 2026) – In recognition of The Jim Moran Foundation’s 25th anniversary, the organization has awarded a $500,000 grant to the Holy Cross Health Foundation.
The funds will support the design and construction of the Holy Cross Community
Pharmacy – Oakland Park, which will provide pharmacy services, including home delivery, to the surrounding community. The pharmacy will be located in the Holy Cross Health Family Health Center on the first floor of the Holy Cross Medical Plaza, 5601 N. Dixie Hwy. in Oakland Park.
“My husband's relationship with Holy Cross began in the 1970s, followed by his life-saving open-heart surgery in 1988,” said Jan Moran, Chairman and President of The Jim Moran Foundation. “Knowing their unwavering commitment to good health and well-being for all, we are happy to be continuing our partnership through Jim’s foundation.”
To recognize its 25th Anniversary, The Foundation reached beyond its traditional funding guidelines with grants currently totaling almost $20 million. Final anniversary grants will be announced in early 2026.
Five years ago, as a part of its 20th Anniversary giving, The Jim Moran Foundation awarded a $1 million grant to help establish the Holy Cross Health Family Health Center to address the diverse needs of the local community and serve as a centralized hub for a wide array of health care services for patients of all ages, as well as job-readiness programs for adults.
“Over the years, The Jim Moran Foundation has been a generous, steadfast supporter of Holy Cross Health and a valued community partner,” said Laura Denoux, Vice President and Chief Development Officer of Holy Cross Health Foundation. “Providing convenient access to a community pharmacy is essential to our patients. We are thankful to The Jim Moran Foundation for enabling us to make this possible for residents of Oakland Park and the surrounding neighborhoods.”
The Holy Cross Health Family Health Center reimagines how care is delivered by combining medical services, pediatric therapies and life skills programs in one integrated, community-focused setting. The 15,000-square-foot facility offers primary care, annual wellness check-ups, immunizations, social services, pediatric therapy, nutrition counseling and culinary medicine, all designed to support the health and well-being of families.
It is the only facility in eastern and northern Broward County to provide pediatric occupational, physical and speech language therapy under one roof within the newly named Jim Moran Foundation Pediatric Therapy Center. The center features a low stimulation room for pediatric patients with sensory sensitivities, such as individuals on the autism spectrum, as well as feeding therapy for infants and toddlers. Beyond health care, the Family Health Center empowers adults through workshops on resume writing, interview skills and financial literacy, helping families achieve both health and self-sufficiency.
