Holy Cross campaign for expansion

Hoping to head off more studies that would stall its $143 million expansion plans, Providence Holy Cross Medical Center launched a public-relations campaign Monday to try to win community support and pressure city officials to give the project final approval. Daily News.

The first full-page advertisements appeared in Monday newspapers and featured former LAPD SWAT Officer Bruce Hunt's story of how the hospital saved his life after he was injured in an off-duty car crash.

"We think we have a message about what we do that we want to get out to the community," said Kerry Carmody, administrator for the Mission Hills hospital. "We want to educate the public and public officials about the need for the expansion."
