Said Dr. Francisco Gonzalez, Director, Holy Cross Hospital International Services.
“As a member of Catholic Health East, a multi-institutional Catholic health system located in 11 eastern states from Maine to Florida, Holy Cross Hospital hopes to increase awareness within the international healthcare community regarding our long-standing tradition of innovative, award-winning care, centered around compassion for our patients.
We were the first hospital in our community to earn a Magnet Nursing status, which nationally recognizes the best in professional nursing and patient care, and we have maintained this level of care over time. For years, we have nurtured a culture of inclusion in which all persons are welcomed, valued and celebrated; we are able to offer this to our international patients as we provide care with special consideration of their cultural needs , he added.
Accredited by the Joint Commission, Holy Cross Hospital has once again been named by U.S. News & World Report as one of the Best Regional Hospitals in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metro area and high performing in orthopedics, gynecology, geriatrics and urology.
