Mark Twain St. Josephs Hospital Helps to Replenish The Calaveras Food Bank
The Employee Satisfaction Team at Mark Twain St. Joseph’s Hospital is helping to restore Calaveras’ Food Bank after the busy holiday season. Receptacles have been placed throughout the hospital and its five Family Medical Centers (Arnold, San Andreas, Angels Camp, Valley Springs, Copperopolis), where employees, patients, friends and neighbors can bring non-perishable food and personal household supplies. “This year we really .....
.wanted to capture the element of human compassion” said team member Nicki Stevens. “Focusing on not just food, but personal essentials such as firewood vouchers and household items, and challenging ourselves to offer whatever is in our heart to give. “This is about all of us, our neighbors, co-workers, friends and even family members” said hospital president Feliciano Jiron. “Together we can truly nourish the Heart of Calaveras Families.” Hospital employees will deliver all of the food and items to the Resource Connection’s Food Bank on February 18th. For information call 754-2603.
“The Resource Connection Food Bank is experiencing the greatest demand in our history” said Jeannie Hayward, Program Director for the Food Bank. “Money and food donations have become critical for our families and neighbors.” The Resource Connection’s Food Bank is located in a new facility at 206 George Reed Drive in San Andreas. They can be reached at 754-1257.
Mark Twain St. Joseph’s Hospital is a not-for-profit, 25-bed Critical Access Hospital serving all of Calaveras County. Established in 1951 as Mark Twain District Hospital and centrally located in San Andreas, the hospital is partnered with Catholic Healthcare West to further strengthen this rural hospital to meet future community needs. The hospital is supported by 36 active physicians practicing in 24 specialties.
