The organization is closely connected with a number of other national organizations dedicated to these specific and vastly underserved patient groups. These problems result in 830,000 new case per year, but also affect the family, the newborns and the other children at home. You will meet with leaders in preventive mental health, the American Public Health Association Division of Maternal and Child Health and groups of recovered mothers. In the process you will learn about unique, but very effective approaches to the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.

TITLE: Program Intern
When Holy Cross Hospital opened its doors in 1963, it began a tradition

At our founding, the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Cross
established a commitment to meeting community need and to improving the

benefit ministry. Our community benefit efforts include all of the
services we provide to community members at no cost or subsidize as part
of our mission to be the most trusted provider of health care services
in our area.
In meeting this commitment, we focus our efforts on improving health

significant health care needs in our evolving community that are not
adequately met because of financial, geographic, racial or cultural
barriers. Then we propose and develop innovative solutions to address
these needs in ways that can be sustained in the future.
One of our strengths is our ability to collaborate with other
organizations to maximize our collective positive impact. We
continuously bring together resources toward shared goals by partnering
with local, state and federal government agencies; associations;
community-based social service organizations; faith communities;
charities and others.
