Holy Cross Health

What Holy Cross Health does

Holy Cross Health is a not-for-profit Catholic health system and sponsored ministry of Trinity Health, one of the largest multi-institutional Catholic healthcare delivery systems in the United States (92 hospitals, 18 clinically integrated networks, 13 PACE centers, and 100 continuing care locations serving over 30 million people across 22 states). The system operates two acute-care hospitals in Maryland — Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring and Holy Cross Germantown Hospital — and is actively extending into Southeast Florida through a new $41M freestanding emergency department and outpatient center in Deerfield Beach, an urgent care location in Pompano Beach, and Holy Cross Medical Group physician practices anchored by the Phil Smith Neuroscience Institute in Fort Lauderdale.

The clinical service portfolio spans primary care, neurosciences, women's health (including award-winning maternity, gynecologic surgery, breast, and pelvic health programs), senior services including the nation's first Seniors Emergency Center, cancer care, cardiothoracic surgery, and orthopedics supported by Stryker Mako 4 robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement systems. The technology backbone integrates Epic-based MyChart, electronic health records, participation in regional Health Information Exchanges, and AI-assisted care tooling delivered through Trinity Health partnerships. Specialized clinical differentiation is reinforced by an employed medical group across multiple specialties including gastroenterology, cardiothoracic surgery, and neuromuscular medicine.

The business model is a traditional fee-for-service acute and ambulatory care delivery system billed through commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and self-pay, supplemented by charitable contributions through the Holy Cross Health Foundation (e.g., $552,000 from the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation for prenatal/perinatal expansion). Patient acquisition flows through primary care referrals, specialist consultations, direct ED admissions, and a multi-channel community marketing presence including a wellness blog, the Beyond the Stethoscope podcast, and outreach programs targeting underserved populations.
